Jogging Backwards Is New Health Fad; Get Healthy, And Then Get Killed By A Car
Backwards jogging? Or yogging? I'm not sure; it might be a soft j.
Anyway, running backwards, as anyone who's ever done it can attest, is pretty hard on your leg muscles, hits a lot of muscles that aren't otherwise worked out very hard, and it does improve your balance.
Upside? You burn 20% more calories. Downside? You are 90% likely to wind up crippled or dead.
So, it's a glass-is-half-full situation.
