I am not sure if you have seen the trend "retro-walking" online. It is becoming a new way of having beneficial effects in our body. The manner of walking should be in a backward motion, which I think can strengthen our back muscles. Although I would not do it in public. Some of these people are walking in backward in public.
Would you feel comfortable walking backward, especially in public?

Nope. I'd trip and fall down. Then I'd be in the hospital.

@DaddyEvil That is a big problem. It is better to be safe and say sorry in the end.

@woldgirl569 I agree. Sometimes I am having a hard time walking forward. How much more with this idea.

I would considered an oddball if I walked backwards in public.

I did see a bit of retro-walking. It is interesting to know how something simple as walking backward can have benefits. It is good to know it can help with balance and strengthening of different muscles. However, I do not think I will be comfortable doing this in public. I do not think anyone would be comfortable doing this in public. It is dangerous stunt and could get you even arrested. It can dangerous there or even at home. I may try out in a space that I am comfortable and is only few steps. Till then , I will stick with the regular walking than the retro-walking. Take care!
