Why do we lean forward while climbing a hill ?

                         Why do we lean forward while climbing a hill ?

We keep our body balanced on 2 feet by keeping Centre of Gravity ( COG ) of our body between 2 feet. It acts normal to the sea level vertically downwards.
While walking on normal surface also , we keep this COG between our feet . If COG goes out , we fall as we lose balance.
While climbing up , we have to bend forward to keep this COG intact. If we do not bend forward , the feet position will get ahead of COG and we will fall behind. So , to keep the COG between feet , we must bend forward.
