Backward Walking For Healthier Knees

A big shoutout to Ben Patrick (Knees Over Toes) and his colleague Mr. Infinity for sharing the many benefits of sled work, particularly backward walking with a weighted sled to stimulate blood flow to the connective tissues in and around the knees.

I’ve been doing this work consistently for a few months now and am happy to share that my knees and lower extremities have never felt stronger. Turns out that it also makes for an excellent cardio workout.

For those who don’t have access to a sled, I can suggest walking backward in a safe environment, ideally on a sight incline like a small hill.
