Imagine this guy saying goodbye to ya, running off and just staring right at you the entire time.
😂😂😂😂
Lol
i came here for the comments
Sounds like a Call of Duty mobile’s bot
That would be hilarious!😂😂😂
Knee over toes guy would be proud.
Oh he is happy man for sure
I'm doing klKnees Over Toes Guy workouts. I'd love to.get back to running. Maybe I should do 1 Miles of Backwards for every 5 Miles forward. Something I would like to find advice and recommendations on.
All i can say is Mad respect to the man. He took something and became the best at it. This stuff always inspires, good job man💯
It's not a sport
knees over toes guy preaches backwards running/walking for knee rehabilitation and strengthening.
KneesOverToes UA-cam channel kinda did this whole concept years ago for training the ligaments to remove knee pain. There are exercise for shoulders, hips, and vertical leaps.
makes me wonder if this guy's ever had his knees reassessed... probably able to run forward no problem now lol
I did this in gym class took me 16 minutes! And my legs hurt for days
Backward running may be a niche sport, but not as niche as backward archery.
No one finishes their first practice.
Nailed it
What a forward thinking guy
he's never looking back
I love backwards running. I try to do 2-3 times a week
imagine seeing that guy running past somewhere when your high 😂😂😂
When my high laughing emojis do what?
then he would be below me
Lol
Lmao
And at that speed too lol
Seems like something that would be hard to take seriously. But he does, and that's great.
Nothing is holding him back.
I'm the backwards man, the backwards man…I can walk backwards fast as you can
First thing I thought of, too!
Heck yeah. A fellow person of culture. My nephew was running around backwards a couple days ago and I was singing that.
Game changer!! Me and one of my athletes used to do this all the time. But we would do it uphill with sleds.
I found I could run backwards for longer, faster, and easier than forwards way back in highschool. Everyone laughed at me though so I stopped... god why are classmates so cruel.
because outward rep is very important in high school ...and then its value completely implodes overnight
Bro has the best knees of all time
I would definitely fall within seconds of trying this 😂 but this is awesome!!
This guy has to have an amazing back because running backwards is good for your spine and knees
I think this training could possibly be an advantage in sports with certain defensive tactics.
Would make a great football referee.
Knees over toes guy is gonna make this an Olympic sport.
This needs to be an official event!
Make me remember about the dude in Shinryuji Naga in Eyeshield 21
This dudes backward mile pr time is still better than my pr mile time 😂
This actually deserves more views
Everyone watching this "I can take him on 100m dash backwards"!
Next level would be backward running trail race
this guy is awesome wow
"I'm the Backwards Man the Backwards Man, the Backwards Man the Backwards Man. I can walk back as fast as you can, I can walk back as fast as you can. I'm the Backwards man the Backwards man."
😂
he should get some head gear with small mirrors on it :)
those are life changing, I've used those before
A lot cooler than speed walking.
Busy Going Backwards
That's dedication is admirable
Let's see his backward high dive!
Make this an Olympic event!
Awesome!
Looking forward, looking back, I've come a long way down the track ~ Slim Dusty.
😮 ain't no way this a song
@@sandymakesplans don't know why but it was the first thought that came to mind when I saw this.
Absolutely insane ❤
Impressive
Looks like he pooped his pants, doesn't want anyone to see and is running backwards to the bathroom.
😂
He’d break his record if he wore the shoes backwards too
Backwards running is good for your knees
It is not as hard as many think.
I am 76 with a bunch of health issues and run backward for decades as part of daily exercise, not a mile, of course. Notice that the left and right sideward run and on one lag run are a part of regular routine, and I'm likely the fastest man older 70.
And I get ridiculed for just walking backwards on the treadmill at the gym!
ID on the sunglasses?
I'd instantly think I'm in the matrix
young Deion Sanders would've mopped the floor with this dude in a backwards race.
I wonder if anyone is gonna try reversing this vid.
Tried one myself 2 years ago
I wish Bill Hicks is still alive and see this.
it's quadriceps, with an 's' at the end, yes, even in the singular! not quadricep! (same goes for biceps and triceps, and triceratops for that matter)
My school has back running in competition
Interesting!

I want someone to run the video backward.
Cool
Guy needs a backup camera.
As a Swede i wounder what this have to do with my ppl?
New Olympic Category
He would run even faster if he ran backwards in time!
"You got it backwards buddy." - He must ear this a lot. 😄
bro runs faster backwards than i do fowards
His name is actually Redoy Noraa
He must have strong back muscles
ready player one first race be like
Looks like Bruce Lee in reverse
I cant even walk backwards withour crashing 👣
The meme potential is limitless.
I'm not watching this whole thing, how fast is his normal mile time?
8:19 fin.
I have one question, Why?
@3:55
why
Backwards man backwards man
Bruh is running backwards basically blind like he never heard of a mirror.
This activity begs for a special helmet to cushion the back of the head in case of a fall.
He should be wearing all his clothes backwards..
underrated comment 😂
I'm sure I can run backwards faster than this guy, but I don't know that I can keep it up for 3 miles! I picked up the habit after reading that it's actually better for the knees, and it certainly does feel better!
Edit: ah he speeds up later in the vid
👍
probs did this as a joke at first 😂
I ran a backwards mile in -7:00 minutes.
How fast can’t he do it forward?
Oh. 👍🙄
Plot twist: he’s running forwards but the video is in reverse
Practice and muscle memory there.I saved you ten minutes
Why
Timber Justinlake
I like backwards backwards running
Pythonesque?
Weird flex but ok
Tenet 😂
this might be mater
Ah, this must where politicians learn to back peddle
to be completely honest, this feels a bit like an onion video
Free🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
indeed
If they agree to abolish Islam then I’ll say free Palestine. Im an exmuslim for clarity
@@HispanicatthediscoMTG Maybe if Christianity and Judaism are also abolished
Yes, but why here man ? No one's going to take this seriously on a video about a dude trying to run backwards.
But why?
Justin Timberlake??
It all started with his gf having anger issues...
Dumb lol
I find this extremely ridiculous
Is this a skit?😂
This could possibly be the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
