You won't have big calves until you run backwards on a treadmill

In rehab we use backwards walking on treadmill to get people to focus on fully straightening their knee after surgery and fire their quads.

I assume these guys are just trying to work out different muscles than traditional running does. I think there are much more efficient ways of doing this than running backwards in a treadmill.

Makes sense.

I pubcrawl to get my live in shape for a Mardi Gras.

It's a muscle like all the rest of 'em. (shrugs)

Try it out. If you like it or see benefits, keep doing it. Don't let someone tell you to or not to do something in the gym if it's not a health hazard

I would say it is a hell of a workout...however, if you want to see a show just watch for a few minutes until the arse busting occurs. watching someone wipe out on a moving treadmill is like watching a damn train wreck develop...

I often use one of these if I'm doing cardio during lunch:



Sometimes I go backwards, but it burns the hell out of my legs and I can't do it very long. It definitely hits some less frequently used muscles.

Witnessed some baw doing this the other night so he could carry on a face-to-face conversation with a girl he was trying to pick up.
