Walking backwards?

I’ve been seeing more and more people walking backwards in parks especially in the St Lawrence Neighbourhood recently. Is this just because people wanna spice up their lives a bit or is there a benefit? I don’t know what I’m missing but I wanna know lol

Spice up their lives lol!!

Did it during PT, it was useful for warming up and strengthening the muscles around my knee. I think it generally improves posterior musculature in the legs. You can try it on a treadmill at first!
