Balance

Broken Bones

Part of my training involves walking backwards 500
steps every morning. I have been doing this
consistently since 2007 when my friend Matt Furey
showed me the exercise. In fact, when I first went
to China to study in the nineties, I would see
hundreds of people walking backwards daily. It’s a
practice for good health in Japan, China, and
parts of Europe where people use it to build
muscle, improve sports performance, and promote
balance. Walking backwards has opened up my
awareness, improved my vision, strengthened my
back, and sharpened my brain.

When you walk backwards, it puts less strain and
requires less range of motion on your knee joints.
I find that I can do a more intense workout in
less time. I have heard that 100 steps backwards
is equal to 1,000 steps forward. Walking backwards
sharpens your thinking skills and enhances
cognitive control. Those are some great benefits,
and that’s why I walk backwards every day.

Around 10 days ago, I was power-walking backwards
at a good pace and stumbled over a big piece of
coral that washed up on the beach. Even though I
have great balance, I came crashing down right on
my wrist. As luck would have it, I broke my wrist,
and now I am in a cast. This is the first bone I
ever broke, but it didn’t stop me. This morning, I
walked backwards for just 250 steps and am
recovering well. Sometimes, the river just
overflows and floods the neighborhood, and there
is nothing you can do about it.

If you want to stay up on the latest in longevity,
meditation, and even how to heal a bone quicker,

I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth, and
Happiness!
