Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• Backwards walking and backwards sled drags are key to building more resilient knees
  • Less risk and more accessible: With squats or other compact lifts, you must move the weight or the weight moves you. With the sled, you just move the weight or you don’t.
  • Benefits: Every time you’re slowly building up strength and circulation. Tendons and ligaments take much longer to see positive change.
• Without motion and compression, your joints won’t get all the nutrients they need
  • Otherwise, your body assumes your joints don’t need them
  • Pain is an opportunity to get better. Identify it and act. Avoiding it will only make it worse.
• Exercise and Physical Therapy don’t have to be two separate things
  • Continue reading for more about the “Knees Over Toes Guy” routine
