His videos fixed my knee. Could this trick fix yours faster?

- So I went in pretty skeptical but Kneesovertoesguy Ben Patrick has changed the way I look at building strength and resilience. A year after my first experiment with trying to “Reverse Out Knee Pain”, I was back but this time I wanted to add some load to the equation. I didn’t want to lug around a sled or try building some random KOT (knees over toes) sled alternative contraption. Then the idea struck me...
How about a running parachute? They’re cheap, easy to carry and already designed to give runners wind resistance. Could this be the KOT sled alternative I was after?
Here's a link to my original Kneesovertoesguy "Reverse Out Knee Pain" experiment: • Backwards Running to R...
Love the video. Thanks for sharing what didn’t work for you
Thanks for watching! Hope it helped!
I used to use those parachutes for my kids running club!! So awesome these new exercises are helping your knees!! hahahahha you crack me up....very creative ides worth trying though!
Great video - thanks for sharing. Big fan of Ben - he changed my life. Feel like brand new knees after years of pain and discomfort on long hikes and whilst surfing. Feel like a little kid again.
Honestly the greatest gift he gives is just the idea that you have the power to improve your knee pain. Just having that little bit of confidence is the first step toward progress.
I’ve been waiting for this video! Waiting to hear if these exercises (minus the parachute) helped you. So glad to hear they did. Going to start on them myself. Thanks!
Glad I could help. The knowledge that you can actually do something about knee pain is empowering!
Thanks for giving it a try!
It was my pleasure!
I walk or jog backwards up a few of the steep hills in my neighborhood. Switches the focus of the muscles in use. Especially today on my walk cool down that hill is daunting head on, with tired legs. I'm glad you had fun experimenting with the parachute!
Thanks! It's fun testing this stuff out!
Hi Kori pls also do a video on shin splits recovery and prevention. 😊
Knees Over Toes Guy👍🏻. I did some backwards hill walking recently. I agree with you Kori, I stop at the sled. Great attempt with the parachute. Let us know if you find something better. Maybe drag a bucket of cement w resistance band, but then who is going to carry a bucket of cement around?🤷♀️
Exactly! I think the weighted tire sled is probably the best homemade option at this point but it requires hauling around a tire and weights. I've actually found a manual treadmill at my gym that has resistance options, which is the easiest option.
As someone who just took a month off due to a knee problem, I'm gonna check this guy out. At least you only spent 15 bucks on the equipment. 🤷♂
Totally. He puts everything out there on CZcams and Instagram for anyone to see.
I can attest to the success of Ben’s program. I subscribed to his program for 3 months, did all the exercises and my knees are like brand new. Went skiing recently and I was amazed - zero knee pain after 3 full 6hour days on the mountain.
I originally started with his stuff on CZcams, like ROKPing up a steep hill. This one made the most difference. Right now I use the treadmill at the gym - leave it off and walk backwards against the resistance - works very well. After 10min your legs are shot. But the hill makes the biggest difference.
His other exercises in his plan on top of this will literally bulletproof your knees
@@jacquesdutoitpvt What is ROKPing?
Great video! I need to check out the Knees over toes guy. So, I guess the parachute idea is similar to pulling tires. It looks like the parachute requires too much speed for me.
Yeah, that's the issue!
Well, it did make for a fun video! 🤣
Yes it did 🤣
I have a 60lb weight vest I drag and works pretty good.. I can pile a couple of plates on them of I need to. if you drive to the park maybe one of those sand bags they use at crossfit could work. I have been following him and his team for almost 2 years.
Yeah, I either walk, run, or take the subway so I was looking for something easy to carry. Oh well, back to the drawing board 🤷🏾♂️
@@KoriRuns you can mimic it with poliquin or peterson step ups on any stairway as well
Oh nuts!
Yep 🤣
Personally I can't buy a sled but my alternative is pushing a big tennis bag back and forth in my hallway (which is quite big) and the surface is ok and gets the job done and I go backwards with sled straps that's it nothing crazy
Edit: And obviously if I need weight I put plates inside of it and when I push it I fold the edge of the bag so that I have more space for my legs when I push it forward.
If it works, it works!
Can you please suggest exercises for fixing knock knees
I'm definitely not the expert on this stuff. Just a runner trying some stuff he sees online.
Interesring 🤔 Maybe it works better while running forward 🤔
I think it definitely does... but you won't get the same benefit for your knees.
Did his videos fix your knees or did you fix your knees using the awesome content he has provided?
B. 🤣
nice music
Thanks! Tried to find something that fit.
Kori, I walk on a treadmill in reverse with the power off for a few minutes in intervals a couple time a week. I feel like it's worked great for my knee pain and to strengthen my quads and knee stabilizing muscles. Running downhill used to kill my knees but now it feels great.
I'm been fortunate recently to find a gym that has a manual treadmill, so that's going to be my go to!
Didn't try it going forward though...
You are correct. I didn't!
@@KoriRuns Would have been hilarious if you could deploy them mid run 🏃♂️ like can't slow down without em'.
The almighty youtube algorithm recommended me this video day after I bought colagen for my knees. Thanks to the creator, as well as the CZcams algorithm!
The algorithm is a fickle beast but I'm glad it got this one right!
I mean... The parachute has more drag the more area it has or the faster you're going lol of course it's not that great backwards, you're much slower.
How dare you bring physics into this comments section 🤣🤣🤣
