Knees Over Toes Guy: The Sled Is Key To Unlocking Performance

[@Kaiser42]

At age 52 Ben gave me hope and the tools to get back on the soccer pitch. Thanks for the education.

[@TNnxnek]

Any updates?

That's awesome Alex! I'm about 5'8" and my weight got all the way up to 280! Now I'm down to 195 and have also recently gotten back on the pitch. I forgot how much I love playing! Hope you're doing well!

I convinced my mum to take a chance on bens program, she has gone from unable to bend her knees to sending me videos of her doing slant board squats! Thank you Ben for saving my mums physical health (I also did the program and enjoyed it a lot)

Out of curiosity, how old is your mum? Mine has similar issues.

[@randallhurst8211]

Lol my pastor been preaching moving to heal for years. Ben is the man, I've been walking uphill and stairs backwards for a week. I feel great.

[@Irefuselol]

I’ve been doing sled push and pulls multiple times a week for 2 years now. I’m 280lbs and it feels like I’m walking around on air. My knees have literally become like steel. The blood that rushes to your knees and the muscles around it is the best feeling ever. No other exercise I’ve ever done has given me this noticeable of a lifestyle upgrade. I walked around a golf tournament the other day up and down hills constantly ended the day with 60k steps and had zero pain in my feet or legs. Find a gym with a quality sled area and do it you won’t regret it

[@moistandsquishy9925]

I haven't been to the gym for several weeks now since my new job - which is a bummer. But my new job is a blessing in disguise. I lift somewhat heavy boxes, pull, and push heavy industrial steel wire carts/containers all around the facility plant/warehouse - 12 hrs 5 days a week. I'm getting paid to basically workout.

[@oransjball]

Thats a really good mindset. Good for you!

My gym has the 4 wheel Torque Tank sled. That’s a $1,600 sled. Factoring tax and the bare minimum attachments you need, it would be around $1,900. My membership only costs $10 per month. It’s fucking sweet.

I bought a Titan fitness sled for $70 and three 50lbs sandbags at Home Depot for $15. Got a sled for cheap. It’s great and if you have the space at home you can do anytime.

Do you have a problem with the sled tracking straight? I love the sled but the ocd in me wants it do go perfectly straight lol

Pretty sure he says 200 yards back and forth every time but you can do this exercise for hours every day without any negative effect that’s the beauty of it.

[@panamanianviking3153]

Ben i love you but at the end of the day its important to let people talk too

[@DMGC529]

Haha, I love how someone in these videos always compares us to our cave man selves like they were healthier back then. Pretty sure our life expectancy is slightly higher these days. 1) Do we know how healthy cavemen's bodies were? Do we have some sort of evidence that they didn't suffer tendinopathies, muscle tears or stress fractures? Pretty sure we don't and pretty sure they would have been a mess 2) Why is the assumption that the cavemen had it right? Id be willing to bet money they'd prefer eating daily without risking their lives and living past 30 years of age. I get the message though and we do need to move more. Great video and great message.

[@ian9266]

Look into the hunter gatherer tribes living today like the Haadza and Masai. Many of the diseases we suffer from today are the result of hypokinesis. Infant mortality was high in Paleolithic times which is the cause for lower overall life expectancy, that being said if a cavebaby could survive to be a cave-adult they enjoyed similar life expectancy to ours

[@DMGC529]

@@ian9266 Im not saying everything we do is healthier and there are of course huge issues with junk food, processed food, sedentary life styles etc for those who choose that lifestyle but I would say overall we 100% have the opportunity for a way better quality of life now than back then.

[@Tmoney7994]

@@DMGC529 life expectancy is higher now largely due to modern medicine, allowing unhealthy people to live longer. Also, the infant mortality rate is lower due to modern medicine. I wouldn't necessarily say longer life expectancy equates to healthier lifestyle.

[@DKRYMMA]

@@DMGC529 nothing necessarily better about our lives, just more familiar. All a life needs to have value is food, water, reproduction.

[@jeffreymartin3790]

DC let's have some perspective dude. Life expectancy was shorter because our ancestors were often hunted/killed by rivals or animals. The point they were making is that man is too sedentary these days so we need to create movement opportunities, C'mon man think logically and critically.

How to do the sled with no sled? Real question

[@HotDamnItsAdam]

Push car, walk backwards on a treadmill ( turned off) ,

[@randallhurst8211]

I have a partner at work we use each other as a sled. We hold on a PVC pipe and give each other resistance. Also you can tie an exercise band to a door for resistance.

[@anthonini66]

Weight belt and some plates on the floor is a cheap but effective way to do it.
