Saw this on Pinterest but wanted to share bc actually I have had a physio recommend this to me and it’s been amazing!

Walking backwards strengths the muscles around your knee (esp the quadriceps, which you will definitely feel if you do this) but doesn’t put the same strain on the joint as forward walking or running. It’s very good for your balance, coordination and patellar tracking, all important to reduce knee pain, support your knees and can help rehab knee injuries.

I do it on a gym treadmill, usually at 1.2 km/h (but I’ve seen anywhere from 0.8-1.6 km/h recommended, which is like 0.5-1.0 mph for the Americans). You can start with a very slight incline and then slowly increase it 5% as you get more comfortable, and to help engage the muscles. I usually do this for 5 to 10 minutes, 3-4 times a week. My understanding is that you can also do it outside, either on flat or sloped ground, because just walking backwards itself is useful as hell (the incline is just useful to engage muscles more as you get more used to it)

If you have even a spare 20 minutes a week, this is seriously useful to support your knees, because there is nothing worse than injuring one

Bc I know there are many people on this website dealing with chronic pain and disability, I will add some studies below the cut on backwards walking (retro walking) as well. It's been investigated for quite a few things including knee osteoarthritis, lower back pain/instability and also balance improvement for people with hearing impairments, to name a few

armand is within fandom treated as the woman that gets in the way of yaoi which is ironic because he himself has enacted one of the most extreme anti women getting between yaoi actions in fiction

"Someone's not letting the tale seduce them 🙄" I'm fucking trying but the tale's idea of seduction is shoving its tongue in my ear and farting while it grinds on me to the tune of the teletubbies theme
