How to Start Improving Bad Knees Right Now

What action should be taken if there's still a lot of pain while walking backwards?

While doing these things should I keep running so my quads and muscle around my knee get stronger or should I not be running and just be doing these things.

the treadmills at my gym can't be moved when they're off, is it a problem if I simply use a lower speed and press into the treadmill, as this causes me to feel my muscles working and seems to help with knee pain.

I have no cartilage in one knee, have had 2 micro fractures and an osteotmy. I'm avoiding knee replacement. I'm going to try these before I commit to the knee replacement.

Watching this Thanksgiving 2023 and very grateful for you and your training!

Will doing this once a week enough? I train basketball every night after work

Can walking backwards on an elliptical machine work? I don’t have a treadmill.

We need more people like this in the spot light helping his fellow man. The love of money has ruined the integrity of so many people.
Thank you good sir!

Hi! I hope you will reply. I wonder whether your exercises will help me with my Grade 3 meniscus tears on my right leg. My doctor said to me I need to have surgery on my leg, but I am afraid of arthritis later down the road. Other than that my right leg is fine. No arthritis or any other problems besides my injury. I damaged my kneed during hiking mountains in my country. There is no doubt I need to have surgery, but for physical therapy post op? Will it help to get my health back? I was planning to return to BJJ, kickboxing and calisthenics, but this injury destroyed all my plans. Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much for your videos. I've already started doing these workouts (back walks and tibialis raises) and found them very helpful. Question for you. Is it ok to walk (backwards) back and forth on the steps leading to my second floor?

I wanna thank the Lord Jesus Christ for this man revealing these exercises to better strengthen the body. This guy is putting out information that he researched and helping us if we listen and follow what he says. God bless you The Kneesovertoesguy.

how many times a week should I do this routine?

Howdy Coach! Im a "the knees over the toes guy" disciple from San Antonio, TX! Thank you for liberating me last year after a complete left knee & tendon reconstruction. What is your opinion of the,
"hiitmill x"?
Thank you for your expertise, wisdom & generosity! I'm stronger, more flexible and MORE ACTIVE than I've been in the last 15 years b/c of you and this channel. Please continue your awesome, impressive, liberating revolution!

How many sets and reps should i do?

Thank you for everything you have done, you’re very generous and loving for sharing your knowledge

My knees feel like when there bent they give out for a split second. Would this help me?

Hello Ben
Hope you are well.
I have been doing the backwards walking and the raising of the toes while standing as you suggested and thank God I have not been experiencing any further discomfort in my knees. I will get a little discomfort at certain times but not as before. I can stoop and bend down using my knees and get back up without any pain as I had before.
I had msged you about a month or two ago after seeing your videos on You Tube.
Just to refresh your memory as I know you’d probably receive hundreds or thousands of msgs from people. I began having the discomfort in both knees after doing box jumps from my workout program. I no longer do box jumps or any kind of jumps. Any workouts that entail jumps, I’d do the alternate instead. At least for the while, until perhaps later down the road I can probably resume jumps. I just don’t want to aggravate anything now as my knees are so much better.
Many thanks and my utmost appreciation to you once more for your help and the great work you are doing to help others with knee issues.
I will eventually incorporate your other knee exercises in my daily routine.
May God bless you and the wonderful work you are doing.

I have a torn meniscus i did it in july my surgery is next week my pain is barely there im wondering😂 if i should do it please help

I’m 14 and I have patellar tendinopathy/pfp and quadriceps tendinopathy in both legs, I’m doing load management which is working pretty well, I was just wondering would encoorparating atg split squats and Nordics and stuff like that help me be able to play baseball again?

how many times a week should i be sledding?

Does this program work for all knee injuries? I have a cartilage injury.

is mobility fixed? are people born with it or can you improve it? ( to a certain extend) for example, the ankle, looking at your knee its very far over the toes, i would say, alot people are not abloe to get that far.

Thankyou for the information, you are an inspiration !

How often? Every day or every other day? Thoughts?

Almost been a year since i told myself o would start this routine, but i cant seem to fit it in alongside my normal weight training. Would there be a significant impact if i dedicate just one day of this per week?

Should the split squat hurt at first?

How to exercise after ACL meniscus surgery?

Thank you sincerely for sending me this link. I'd been a sole caregiver for an elderly parent with dementia who died recently and delayed a rotator surgery.

A few days ago I had the surgery I'd delayed but I'm determined to follow the advice you have posted in this video. Again a million thanks.

Hi brother .I have meniscus issues and now it's affecting my whole knee like it made me lose flexibility and pain during squats. Is it okay if I feel pains when I do this exercises. I'm 35 yrs old

Excellent information!! I've been running a lot lately, I'm 47 and weigh 230lbs and my knee's are hurting a lot at my kneecap especially while walking upstairs. Attempting single leg or two leg squats are painful.

I'm thinking I'll fill up my green utility cart with some logs and pull it backwards and push it forward to mimick your first exercise.

where can i buy those uncivilized shoes\

You ALMOST sound guilty for selling something. Don’t, you’re doing great things for people.

I immediately started walking backwards while still watching the video 😂❤

Thank you man

How l buy your books and training equipment from you please!

Does this program help arthritis? I was told my left knee is of 60 yo, lol

Do you have any exercises or recommendations to stop petella dislocation? Its becoming a problem for me

40 year old BJJ blue belt. Just watched this video again while walking backwards on the treadmill. My right knee has been swelling up with intense training and hiking. I'm going to implement the rest of the exercises so i can get back to competing. Tib raises next! Thank you!

This might sound like a dumb comment but I just dont want to do anything wrong. When I joined a gym, I signed a waiver for if I get injured doing something I wasnt supposed to be doing I would not hold them liable. The example the guy used when helping me sign was Walking backwards on a threadmill.
Is it really that weird to walk backwards on a treadmill? Does it always need to be off to do it the way youre suggesting or is it just fine to do it when its on so you look a little less like a 4 year old who was let loose on a Planet Fitness? Just asking because physical therapy is too expensive so im trying to rehab my patellofemoral pain syndrome on my own so I can more comfortably run and cycle long distance.

Bro floating

Just what I kneeded

dude I like your whole thing, thanks, you got me very hyped, binging your content, tomorrow I'll start with some exercises.

Many thanks Ben. I will let you know how it goes.

Thank you Ben for your expertise. I will take heed and do them.
Wishing you the best in all that you do.

I’m 4 months post op from ACL reconstruction & meniscus repair. Most of my pain has improved with rehab but I have incredible Patellofemoral pain that has only gotten worse , especially since I’ve started single leg exercises. Doctor says it’s normal until I strengthen my quad but I can’t even do split squats or step downs without immense pain. He just says to push through pain. Would like to hear your thoughts.

Hello, I have a small osteochondral defect in my knee but have no pain, do you recommend I do these?

Integrity is absolutely important
Also, slantboard jefferson curls and tibialis raises unironically changed my life. I do most of the mobility standards exercises regularly but those 2 in particular I've been doing religiously for about a year. I'm approaching 27 and the most athletic I've ever been

Should I be doing this every day or like three times a week

How often?

Many thanks, once again, Ben. Also, I greatly appreciate your quick responses.
I will start by doing the backward walking outside our yard but, eventually, I’d also look into purchasing a sled. Ben, kindly bear with me, please, as I just thought of two more questions.

1.) Will it matter doing these knee strengthening exercises before or after a workout?

2.) Is a specific time required in doing them or should 5-10 mins be sufficient?
