    Been having some knee issues so I’m trying the knees over toes exercises to try to avoid having to go to PT for it. Last year I spent $1200 getting my other knee checked out only to be told it would get better on its own in 1-3 more weeks. Figured I’d try to save some cash and diy it to try and regain my mobility faster.

    I’m very skeptical of this guy since everything about him comes off as bro-science/steal your money through over hyping it, but also there doesn’t seem like anything wrong with the exercises themselves from my athletic layman’s perspective. I found a free copy of the program so figured if it is just a scam I’m not out anything.

      Getting old(ish) isn’t fun. I used a kick sod cutter to clear part of our yard and spent a couple of months with a pissed off knee. Then did something to my arm (who knows) and it’s only now 3-4 months later mostly back to normal. Although I blame the slow recovery there on hefting the kids constantly.

      I hope the program works for you!

      I tried a little bit of his exercises. I never had bad knees, but would occasionally get aches. All of that has gone away since I started running and doing his exercises. I don’t know what helped my knees, but I think strengthening them does a lot of good. Running is great for that as long as you’re not heel striking
