Don’t sleep on the cameraman, bruh buildin his tibs walking backwards while filming the group from the front 😴😳🚀🧠

I will not go into details but, I am recovering from a bad off-road motorcycle accident that happened a year ago. I was making extremely good progress with my recovery and fitness. Then I started watching KOTs Guy and Mark’s videos. Wow! What a difference this has made! I feel twenty-years younger. (BTW, I’m 60 years-old) My strength, agility and balance is over-the-top and it has been completely pain-free. My trainer can’t believe the difference and improvement in the gym is truly amazing. Thanks so much!

This channel has great energy. What a team

Until I stumbled upon KneesOverToesGuy, I thought I was just not meant to be a runner. I’m learned my leg and ankle injuries are just that, injuries, and not permanent states of being. This man deserves a medal. 🥇

I'm an over the road semi driver. Just realizing that I drop off and pick up right around the corner from you guys. Getting my knee back together so I can step back on the footballfield. So far these videos have helped. Thank you

I don’t have access to a sled. I use the treadmill at .5 mph - backwards, forwards, & sideways. I also walk at +/-3 mph forwards, backwards, lateral (right & left)(front & back), & grapevine right & left. I was already doing the walking- you have inspired me to do the slow/heavy. Thank you for all you teach.

Love this interview format, with you guys out and about, moving and exercising while you talk. A nice change from the usual format and an inspiration to move around a bit while listening.

Just started *uphill backwards walking* and my legs feel great after a few times. At age 66, I have no knee pains and I certainly will do this in order to keep my knees and legs in good shape.

@@jaynestrong9211 Hi Jayne. *CAUTION:* Backwards walking must be taken slowly and built up over time!!! I am in a wheelchair from it, after 4 days of BW and also doing midly *aggressive uphill-backwards-walking.* This is my first video reply in one week, after causing toe-sprains in BOTH FEET ! ( Yes.... stuck in the house until June.) I absolutely love how my legs feel after BW and will go back to it in time. I am a guy who lives for yoga, walking, hiking, mowing lawns and motorcycling, so my feet were already very well conditioned. So this injury totally shocked me, but _BW is said to activate muscles and tendons that have been dormant._ Also, my toe sprains may have resulted more from transitioning from forward to backwards roughly 10x in a 1mile walk. That type of twisting tension might be hard for the toes. So, if I had stayed on the level pavement during my BW segments, and transitioned carefully, I'd likely be out on my Harley right now instead of riding this wheelchair.

I don't have a sled, but what I sometimes have done is drive to a vacant parking lot, put my truck in neutral, kind of sit on the back bumper with the back against the tailgate and push my truck while walking backwards. Then I'll move to the front of the truck and do the same thing with my back against the grill just alternating every 40 or 50 feet to get the same effect.

Your progress with the knee is outstanding Mark!

Loved walking and hanging out with you guys. Also glad to hear you mention the issue of what others think of you at the gym. Thought it was just me. Took me 3 times at 24 Hour Fitness to get the nerve to use the sled. (Mostly cuz there was so much weight on it I couldn't get it off! Also cuz people were in my "row" to pull the sled and I didn't want to ask them to move.) Now I'm going to just wait until people move and move the sled a little and then gradually add as people leave. I did it the other day for the first time and the workout felt phenomenal. I asked the 24 Hour Fitness employee with help on the straps. The way they were set up didn't look right. He was like, "Uuuh, I'm not really sure." Oyyy. Raise your hand if you're surprised. At least I got him off his cell phone and got him to walk over to the sled. I knew more than he did. Confidence built. And I figured out that no one else give a f*ck what you're doing. They're too busy caring about how they look. Human nature is funny. 😂 Let's GO! Sidebar: While I was walking backward on the treadmill, a guy came up to me and says, "Hey, you must be watching the same guy on KZread that I'm watching!" Total bonding moment. Good stuff.

I'm so glad you posted your experience! I'm an out of shape 63 year old woman who went to the gym and no one knew how to help me with the sled. I rewatched the videos and ordered a sled belt and then went back to the gym. Like you, I had all these guys that were doing stretches and weights on the turf. As soon as I was about to start, this man comes over and says, "You should have more weight on that!" And was making fun of me. I said, "Youre probably right, I've never done this before, please feel free to show me how to do this." He mumbled as he walked away that he's never done that (the sled). Well, it had 40 lbs on it and I think it's too much for me right now. But, I don't know how to get it off! I've done this for a week. I'm going in tomorrow and I'm just going to ask someone to take it off and put on 25 lbs. How's it going for you? I'm afraid that if I tell too many people about this that I won't have access to the one and only sled in my very small town!

@@samsmom400 Hi Sam's mom. Your reply got buried in my email. Sorry it's taken me 6 days to respond. I think it's so funny we had the same experience. (Nice guy to drop a criticism and then take off, btw!) It's going well for me. I don't have a sled belt, so the most challenging part is finding the TWO 3-inch resistance bands that one of the trainers showed me how to use because they're always put away in a different place. I connect the two and then connect that to the sled, step inside the farthest loop and start walking backward. When i get to the end, I push it forward. 10 times. It feels like forever and I swear people are thinking, "Will she ever finish?!" LOL But it motivates me to keep pushing and pulling. What a great workout and building of knee strength. There is ALWAYS 3 or 45 lb. disks on the sled that i have to remove. I leave one 45 pound weight. I slowly remove them (and realized no one is coming to my rescue to get them off! haha) I tried adding an extra 20 lbs but it was too much. I'd rather have less weight and be able to move it without making guttural sounds. 😂 That's my story so far. LMK if I can answer anything for you. Did you get the sled belt connected ok? How's it working? (It was not a good experience when I tried to use the wrong size resistance bands because they couldn't find the right ones. Hoping the sled belt works for you.

The hidden mental aspect of doing unconventional exercises is absolutely true! I noticed the same benefit from wearing Vibram Five Fingers, one of the best ways to insulate yourself from the judgement of others is to deliberately do something you know will evoke it and then sit with it

these guys walking around talking about how "mere" exercise can rehabilitate pain and injury whilst outside a bayer headquarters is just fucking iconic.

when I was younger I used to run really fast and beat all the kids at my school, i use to race some kids running backwards, i got pretty good at it, then I would get into boxing, I saw ali jog backwards and I started adding jogging backwards in my roadwork, Ali said it helped him fight backwards and it does, I was the best at fighting backwards in my gym. I stopped doing all that, gotta get back into in.

really cool seeing you three influencers at this level talking like real dudes

It blows my mind that this process was never taught in basic exercise classes in schools, the military or gyms. I did 20 years in Navy Aviation / Jet Mech. My knees are shot at 59 years old. I’ve already had left total knee replacement & my Surgion told me that I can never run, jump or even try pickle ball because I have no ACL or PCL and need to keep from wearing out my knee parts. I just ordered / received Ben’s book from Amazon. It’s a very easy read & explanation / pictures are great. Only thing I’ve bought was Zero 360 Shoes because all other sneakers have elevated soles which is counter productive to …. Knees Over Toes workout (my opinion). I see so many strong healthy looking men & woman, but they can’t do what Ben Patrick’s does in having strong knees w/out pain.

Great stuff! Hey mister Mark, what kind of shoes are you wearing? I’m looking for some flat shoes like yours.

That's interesting that Mark brings up going downstairs backwards because of course people with knee pain that still want to lunch you would tell them to do reverse lunges but then when they start getting stronger in that single leg aspect and they want to do more I always told them to go downstairs backwards and climb up the stairs two at a time and over time they start to feel better with the knees because they are actually starting to get their knees on a bit of a load while still not putting a lot of weight in their hands and over time they start doing Bulgarian split squats but that's interesting about the backwards walking, I'm going to have to practice and test and see what I can learn from this
