Knees Over Toes: Fix Knees, Calves, Shins & Shoulders – Ben Patrick : 1127

Meet the man who’s making leaps forward in functional movement training.

Ben Patrick (aka the Knees Over Toes Guy) went from chronic knee issues to becoming a dunking sensation with his remarkable 42-inch vertical leap. His journey led him to discover the unconventional “knees over toes” method. He now trains to reverse joint pain and defy aging.

In this episode, Ben shares his three game-changing foundations of exercise. We look back at the history of backward walking, and talk about its benefits today. Ben gives us his best tips for strengthening and healing knees, calves, shins, hip flexors, and shoulders. We start from the ground up with fixes for feet and toes. Plus, we talk about the problem with most shoes.

Today’s biggest takeaway is recognizing the connection between functional movement and longevity. Functional training is key to how long you live and how well you live. Whether you’re 18 and want to do parkour or you’re 80 and want to get up off the floor—or still do parkour—you’ll want to hear this one.
