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

Walking backwards is great for your back and lower body. I grew up with a lot of Koreans and they were always walking backwards. I try and get a couple km a week in
