00:00If there's one thing that I'd like you to try is to start walking backwards.
00:06We call it retro-walking.
00:09It's good for your brain, your balance, your heart, your muscles, your joints, your knees,
00:15your ankles.
00:16Look what I'm doing.
00:18I'm stepping on my toe, then my heel, rather than the opposite.
00:22We're isolating different muscles.
00:24If you have knee problems, quadricep problems, buttocks, low back problems, this is something
00:31you want to do.
00:33You're going to engage muscles, increase flexibility, and help increase the vitality of your joints
00:40so you can stay healthy.
00:42And there's nothing better when it comes to your cardiovascular system, your heart, your
00:47lungs, your blood, lowering blood pressure, increasing your metabolic rate.
00:53This can do wonders for your body.
00:56This will help burn off that excess glucose.
00:58You can burn up to 30% more calories by just walking backwards.
01:04As we isolate different muscles, your body's working harder, and your body's going to do
01:09great things for you.
01:10And walking backwards will help you think more clearly, help you concentrate better.
01:16It affects different neurons throughout your brain.
01:19And what about your joints, the mechanical receptors?
01:23The joints and the brain are working together all the time.
01:27As we use different joints, different bodily motions, our brain then is learning new things.
01:32It's going through different changes, and it's growing as the neurons are working better,
01:38helping you have better balance.
01:39That the majority of people out there, as we get older, fall because of imbalance, dizziness.
01:45This will help prevent that dizziness.
01:48This will help give you better balance.
01:50This will help support your body so you can stay healthy.
01:54And walking backwards can help you grow spiritually, mentally, and physically by taking on something
02:00new in our life, trying something you haven't explored.
02:06Feeling and reaping the benefits, being out in nature, just having fun, and feeling healthy
02:12once again.
02:13And what about our endorphins?
02:16Just that nice, pleasant, light feeling that gives us that happy mood.
02:21Our serotonin, our dopamine, as well as all those neurotransmitters just turning on and
02:27glowing by just walking backwards and feeling good and going on another day.
02:33And with all the millions and millions of people worldwide who have orthopedic problems,
02:37like hip problems, knee problems, runner's knee, tendonitis, anterior tibialis, plantar
02:45fasciitis, problems under the feet.
02:49By walking backwards, we're isolating the quads.
02:52We're strengthening the quads.
02:54We're strengthening the anterior tibialis as we're stretching the plantar fascia region.
03:01By doing this exercise, you're going to unload what you've been loading.
03:05You're going to undo what you've been doing.
03:07Start walking backwards, and your joints are going to love you.
03:11And when it comes to your glutes, you want to tone them up?
03:15Put your hands on them right now and walk backwards.
03:17As you bring your thigh backwards, the glutes kick in.
03:20They isolate.
03:21They contract.
03:22Just keep walking backwards, and over the course of hundreds and thousands of steps
03:26going backwards over time, your glutes are going to get more shape, they're going to
03:30get more tone, and you're going to look so much better in the pants that you wear.
03:35So remember, it's not about how fast or slow you go.
03:40It's just walking backwards and isolating those muscles, standing up tall and relaxing.
03:46When it comes to your heart, your lungs, your brain, your joints, your muscles, your proprioception,
03:54your balance, your calmness, your serenity, there are so many things that's going to work
04:00in your favor.
04:01So just keep walking backwards.
04:04I challenge you, and your body will love you.
