PhAMA's signature Retro Walk returns for the 3rd edition on 24 October 2025, this time at the scenic Taman Tasek Permaisuri Cheras!
Retro Walking is walking backwards as a form of exercise.
It has been scientifically proven to burn more calories and provide more health benefits than normal walking because it forces the walker to utilize different muscle groups to work. It also helps walkers to hone their senses by being sensitive to their surroundings particularly what they are unable to see.
Themed "You will never walk alone", PhAMA's Retro Walk is a non-competitive event where people walk in pairs holding two ends of a rope - one walking backwards, while another takes the lead by walking forward.
At the end of the first lap, the pair an exchange sides, where the retro walker now leads in walking forward, while his/her partner walks backwards.
The walk cultivates #patience, #trust and #coordination between walkers and is a great start towards enhancing your friendship with your retro partner.
Walking backwards symbolises the innovative spirit of bringing new treatments and cures that will improve our quality of life, where one is initially unaware of what is happening but depends on the eyes and senses of a reliable partner and friend.
The role reversal that happens at the end of the first lap symbolises the fact that health affects everyone, hence the need for a #universalhealth system for all.
Register now, and invite your friends and family to join this innovative event for all!
