Ankle & Knee Exercise
Backward walking, also known as retro walking, is said to have originated in ancient China, where it was practiced for good health. In the modern world, it’s become quite the rage in Japan, China and parts of Europe, where people use it to build muscle, improve sports performance, promote balance and more.
Walking backwards on the treadmill helps to improve quadricep strength and ankle reactivity for balance. It’s a great exercise for those who are suffering from pain in the knee and ankle.
