I've been thinking that there are probably some positive effects to be gained from walking backwards and/or with your eyes closed. Assuming you can do it in a safe place and not run into things.
I'm probably not the first person to think of it, but I thought I'd throw that out there. What do you think?

I used to moon walk when I was kid.

Walking backwards?
Just waste all your time walking forward...aka running.

The positive effects include: falling down, walking into traffic, people tripping you, being attacked after you accidentally walk into a gender-inappropriate bathroom, ...

I saw a chick running backwards on campus a few months ago. She was looking over her shoulder.
If you run backwards you will improve at running backwards. You need to ask yourself if there is a reason that you would need to improve your backward running ability.

Yeah, I myself like to incorporate backward running whenever I go for a run down. I find that it helps to target muscles that are not used when running forward (obviouslyI've been thinking that there are probably some positive effects to be gained from walking backwards and/or with your eyes closed.). I do this based on the theory that you need to strengthen the antagonist in order to maintain a stable balance of strength. Essentially, its an injury prevention training supplement, primarily to create stronger support in the ankles, and also to protect against nasty shin-splints. I like to do zig-zags, dodges, jumps etc too. Adds I bit of fun, is probably handy to practise, and you tend to push yourself a bit harder without realising it.
As for doing it with your eyes closed, thats a slightly different thread I think.

When strolling on campus during slow hours (weekends, evenings, summer semesters) I very frequently close my eyes for long periods of time. It's tremendously rewarding, but I can't quite say exactly how.
Cheese Daaaawg!
