Hey, this guy is THINKING about what he's doing and how he gets it done. Great work man.
I greatly appreciate the compliment. God bless.
I have this same treadmill to use in place of sled work. The idea of using straps as support you while leaning back to walk is brilliant.
Thanks for the compliment Martin. The convenience of this is awesome!
Do you feel like this version using the straps is the best way to warm up the knees before doing split squats and other knees over toes exercises?
@@keith606 Strapped is good, but to focus on getting blood flow to the joints I like to do a fast paced backward walk. There is quite a bit of resistance in the strapped version, so I would consider that more of a strength training exercise rather than a warm up.
How long have you had it for now? and hows the condition on it? I just ordered one today!
@@autonomyseeker6082 Ordered mine today as well. Been procrastinating due to the negative reviews regarding the belt in particular. I’ll spend some extra time adjusting and tweaking that belt that many are probably not doing.
I'm impressed! Thanks for the investigation into cheap alternatives for indoor KOT training. I live in a city, which can be quite chaotic on the streets with other walkers, cars and whatnot. This looks like a good way to get these exercises in without having to go anywhere
No problem, Simon!
Thank you so much for this! I really needed something more affordable than a sled but with results like this. Really appreciate your content and hope to see more videos from you!
Thank you for the kind words! I love to help people with nutrition / fitness, so I'll be working on more videos.
I have the same treadmill in my Amazon cart for a week now and I came across your video. I really like the rachet strap idea. Thank you for the video!!
Grab it while you can! Apparently they sold out in Canada 😀 Could be purely coincidental.
@@dualwellness4658 I just did it. Amazon said to arrive on Thursday. I also ordered the dip belt and I have the similar ratchet straps already. Thanks!!
Literally just thought of using a manual treadmill as a sled replacement and stumbled on your video for the exact same sled I was thinking of. Brilliant!
The algorithm is listening to our thots now?! Lol...not just yet. We'll probly be 'plugged-in' soon tho.
Get a speeding ticket on our phone because we're late for sonething...😂
This is an awesome idea! Been spinning my wheels as a subscriber to ATG, over sled work during this winter. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the compliment Larry. This removes all barriers to getting your sled work in for sure!
Thank you for this! I just got mine today and already loving it. I live in maine and will get some good use out of it during winter. Great idea!
Awesome to hear! Glad I could help.
Great video, excellent idea, thanks for putting this together. I was thinking about how I was going to accomplish ATG sled work without a sled...especially in the winter as you mention. This may not be perfect but I like it and am going to give it a go.
This is genius for KOT training thank you for sharing !
I would always tell everyone....even though I'm just getting interested and motivated in this new training...to do this stuff outdoors if possible for the UVA/B/sunlight benefits....but, this was a good overview of alternatives...and gives us something to honestly think about. Especially city dwellers, as mentioned by a "few peeps below". Cheers....good commentation, good speed in information delivery, etc.
Ohhhh my gosh brilliant. I have been researching a sled found them super expensive because I need a wheeled one this seems like a prefect option.
This is what I have been looking for! Thanks for sharing Andrew
Thanks for watching Ryan. Much appreciated!
I’m glad that you made this video. I purchased this same product last year for backwards walking (learned from knees over toes guy). I’m going to look into adding the straps like you did but everything you highlighted is what I love about this product.
Thanks so much for that Robin. I hope the strapped method works out for you! I've mentioned in other comments that the belt will shift and make a slight grinding noise against the front flywheel when using the strap method, but doesn't cause any damage. Then it re-centers when walking on it normally.
How are you feeling now that you’ve got a year under your belt?👍🏻
Man, great ideas here. I admire your creativity and problem solving here.
I greatly appreciate the compliment. God bless.
Thanks for the video. I had the same idea and thought let me just search real quick to see if someone else is doing it. That’s all I needed!
Glad I could take a little risk out of the decision. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing this great tool with us!
Great job researching all options
Wow definitely going to try this. My gym is to small for a sled and I think this might just be the work around I was looking for. Thank you.
Thanks Joseph. It's very easy to raise the deck too, so you could keep it upright when you're not using it to have more space in your gym.
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to do it.
Thanks Billy. My pleasure!
That's a creative setup! Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Joseph. Have a great day!
Great vid mate watch from Australia was super helpful.
Awesome review with enough info to get started! Thanks!
Appreciate it John. Thanks for watching!
Excellent! This is what I've been looking for!
Glad I could help!
Thanks for your helpful Info
Thanks for the video. Just what I was looking for!
Thanks for watching Doug. Glad I could help!
Nice idea. Thanks. Was looking for alternatives too. Appreciate the video
Glad I could help! Thanks for commenting.
This is a fantastic solution for exactly what I wanted to do in my own house.
Thanks Morgan. I've incorporated walking backwards into my morning routine, and I'm loving it.
This is such a fantastic idea. Thank you!
Thank you. Glad I could help!
Sunny Health should give you the hookup since you sold them so many treadmills. This was exactly what I was looking for and best all around sled compromise. I got mine and this video really solidified my decision to buy it. Super glad I did, been loving it everyday.
Glad it's working well for you. Thanks Jeremy!
Thanks for this video. Didn't even know this existed. I bought their manual treadmill without the resistance, and it felt way to sketchy. I'm looking forward to trying this system out
Great info! Thanks. I've been looking for something like this, at this price.
Great video! I've been looking for something like this... Thank you!
Glad you liked the video! The blood flow to my knees feels great after 10 minutes of backwards walking on this. I've been doing it 2-3 times a day and having this in my living room makes it too easy!
the straps are brilliant. thanks for sharing
Thanks for the compliment, Mark. I'm using it this morning and it was 6 degrees and snowing here in KY. Looking out the window and enjoying the warmth!
This is a great idea! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the compliment Ahmad!
Just bought one. I'm using resistance band and and walking backwards. Anyways I just want to thank you for treadmill recommendations 👍
Edit. Been 4 days of use. I freaking love this machine. It's great for knee over toe stuff. Can't thank you enough.
So which resistance bands you're using man? I used local ones from Norelco and they dont work, color is green... can you please share yours?
Thank you! I live in Minnesota and outdoor sled work is not possible for roughly half the year. I also don't have a suitable yard to do sled work during the summer months.
Purely INGENIOUS!!!
This is genius! Thank you brother!
Glad I could be of service Serbian. Let me know if you have any other fitness/nutrition questions I can provide my anecdotes.
Thank you!!! This is a great solution
Glad I could help Francesco!
That's pretty cool - I have been deadmilling and was looking at just using a weighted car tyre with an eye bold through the tread to strap onto. But I like the idea of something I can just keep inside once my current treadmill blows up.
I'll be looking at options to do outside once it warms up, but I love having this option to do year around. I'll probably still use it in the summer for early mornings when it's dark.
@@dualwellness4658 I appreciate the video. I was looking at some of the tyres because I have a unique mix of an incline, grass, cement and neighbours that hate noise - so it needed to be quiet across the concrete and not run away from me on the incline. I looked at dragging sand bags, just buying a 4 wheeled yard cart with a brake and unfortunately the torque tanks are out of my price range. It also would have needed to stay outside the whole time. I was thinking about just getting bigger and bigger tyres and maybe putting the eye bolt on the wall of the tyre so I could still tip it up and roll it around. But something like you have suggested here is so much easier. The same as you I was looking at these but could not get one with manual resistance. Once again I appreciate you doing the work for us.
@@chris8534 I made a one with just a regular old tire but wedged and screw some timber in the middle of it. I then just added a piece of pipe screwed into a flange and now I can add differnt weights. Not that noisy either
Wow, great find. I got mine in earlier this week and I'm blown away. I can't believe there's no mid-range option in the $1,000 price point.
Thanks Blakely. I really wish there was a mid-range option because I use this everyday and I would definitely get my moneys worth out of it. Maybe one day!
you are a legend! thanks for this
Too kind Mau! Glad I could help.
Thanks for this video.
This is freaking genius 👍
Great vid considering purchasing this
This is good tool for use when doing “knees over toes” workout
Super useful video!
This video is exactly what I needed. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Thanks Kevin. Glad I could be of service!
I'm glad you reviewed this. I saw them but didn't want to cough up the money and it be no good. I'll buy one now though.
Very creative. Thanks
Thanks for the compliment Chris!
Very cool. Thank you for sharing
👍 Thank you!
Thanks you so much. This will work well!
Thanks for the comment Kev. Appreciate it!
Great video. Thanks
Thanks for watching Beau!
Brilliant!
Thank you for the compliment! I try to make due with what I have.
🔥 looks like a lot of us here will benefit from this video.. appreciate it
Thanks Brandon. Glad I could help!
Very creative! Thanks for sharing. Sadly this is no longer available. As people find your video this thing would have continued to be a top selling item. Hopefully I can use this idea with another machine but unlikely at this price point.
Oh no!
Dang they better up production! Want one. 😊
Amazing stuff brother
Thank you! Glad I could help.
Very cool work around. Reachable.
Thank you for the compliment. Have a great day!
This is friggin' awesome, glad I watched it before I went out& bought a tank sled, I'm going to buy one of these first, and use it for a while to save some doe.
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Great find bud!
Thanks David. Have a great day!
Your video inspired me to buy this treadmill about a year ago and I used it a lot until I had to have a total knee replacement. I tried running the straps like you show and it kept pulling my belt down so I now run my straps around the middle bar so the straps are not pulling down. I worried the handle mechanism wouldn't take the pulling force, but it is holding up nicely. Also, I had a hard time getting the belt to align properly. I could get it aligned when walking normally, but as soon as I try and go backwards it isn't totally aligned and I have to change my walk from one side of the belt to the other to get the belt to stay centered. I don't have to move left to right often, but 5-6 times over 2 mins. Finally, even with putting the lubing oil down periodically the belt seems like it is getting harder and harder to turn, even at the lowest setting and I am to the point where I can't free walk, I have to use the handle bars to help get any sort of speed and I am 260 lbs. Maybe I have the tension to tight from when I tried to align the belt when walking backwards. Have you seen this issue and if so, how did you correct it?
Yea, your belt tension may be too tight. Also, you may have over-lubricated the belt and it is getting "gummy".
The belt will shift if you are using the strap & belt method. It'l make a little noise once it starts rubbing against the wheel, but isn't really hurting anything. I haven't found a way to fix this issue and just chalked it up to something you have to deal with at this price point.
Great idea!!
Thanks for the compliment Will!
Wow good idea mate, I wish I’d seen this before I bought the M1 sled tank for over a grand! May find a use for this at some point though 👍
Thanks Tim. I think tank sleds still have their use. I plan on getting one in the summer so I can soak up some sun while sledding.
@@dualwellness4658 I also just bought the M1, but I still have my old treadmill in the garage. I plan to see if I can make these adaptations to my old treadmill. Great Ideas!
Good job.
Excellent!
I just wonder if you can do it with a regular treadmill but not turned to any setting. I use a stationary electric bike that way for my therapy.
Like the four ring dip belt too.
Thanks, Karl. Sometimes you got to make due with what you have!
Great video. I have a similar treadmill and inspired by your video I tried something that I think works if you don't have a belt and rachet straps. You can just stand at the base of the treadmill with both feet off the treadmill, lean forward and hold the handles and then one leg at a time push the belt away from you with the other leg off the treadmill. On the high resistance setting it only takes about six reps before I'm ultra slow due to muscle fatigue.
Great idea! I'll have to give that a try.
Interesting... thanks
awesome
Love it👍
Thanks brother!
Got 2 S drives at my gym. I love them...worth the money if your doing a home gym. Now if I can only figure out how to increase the resistance even more on them. I've maxed out the s drive.
Wow. I've never used one before, but you would think needing more resistance wouldn't be an issue in that high end of a machine. I know the tank sleds increase resistance the harder you push and assumed the s-drive did the same.
@@dualwellness4658 it does...but I'm usually walking backwards.
Superduper mega awesome video. I really want one when i can get room for having one. Excellent price as well :)
Appreciate it Lucas! I've used mine everyday since making this video and it's still going strong.
This is a great video, you answered every question that I had. Thank you and have you sent it to Ben?
Thanks Jack! He has seen it. He has so many irons in the fire, it might be awhile before we see an improvement on this idea.
nice man, thanks, can you do sprints without having touching rail?
Amazing idea mate! saved me a LOT of trouble / time, thanks for this! any update after more than a year? thanks again
How about a band around the waist hooked behind you as you sprint forward? Should increase the resistance so the belt spins faster, giving you room to pump your arms, but also giving you the stretch of the band so you don't feel 'locked down' if you were using a strap.
Exactly what I was thinking. Going to give this a try soon and will report how it works.
I guess the main component that makes this work is the magnetic resistance? Love this idea. Going to try and find one on FB Marketplace.
That's correct Michael. The incline is an added level of difficulty as well. Thanks for watching!
Great suggestion! Thanks - Ordered mine today! What brand zipbelt are you using, I like the lower hooks. Thanks again!!
Thanks George! Here's a link to the dip belt I use
www.amazon.com/dp/B01BUL2HUI/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_MNDZPNG29Q9NSVVDHB8D?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Ive thought of this. Hello from Toronto Canada
Great minds think alike! Thanks Jason.
I’m shorter and put an elastic band across the handrails and I can walk backwards leaning against the bands and have the treadmill on the highest resistance.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing!
Might save some of us some time-- what dip belt did you order? Thanks
Thank you so much for this advice! Do you think it would be possible to connect the dip belt to a cable machine for additional weight resistance?
No problem Riley. I kind of understand the cable machine idea, but a fixed point is the most simple solution for me.
Thank you for the video. If you were getting ether this or a tank m1 would you have a perspective on which would be preferable/more enjoyable and challenging? Probably could get 10 mo per year outdoors although this solution does come at a lower price point. Getting too crowded in the gym for two pieces of equipment.
I would probably prefer to be outdoors on a sled if you have a good area to do it. It's also nice to have an indoor option in case it's dark or inclimate weather.
Interesting.
Just assembled mine & I'm TOTALLY digging it. Actually enjoying it much more than I thought I would. QUESTION..... How much lube did you put under the belt?? I added a little bit 4x already, but the running board still feels dry to me. Bottle is at around 50% capacity now. Did you use the whole bottle / most of it, for the initial lube??
I believe I used the whole bottle. You may need to loosen both the rear tensioners proportionally.
First video, just popped up on my homepage. Home atg gym, rachet straps handy, casually wears nightforce cap... headed to channel page
This is the way 🤜
Was looking for way more resistance like simulating pushing a pickup truck
Check the sled tred might hit all the things you’re looking for. Haven’t seen any reviews yet though
I've seen this being advertised. It looks very promising.
thetibbarguy.com/products/the-sledtred
really great how much use the device brings for the low price. i live in germany and the device is unfortunately not available here. i had otherwise liked to try it. the s-drive from matrix is known to me for a long time and i play with the idea to buy it used for about 1500 euro. the space requirement and the low mobility are however really a counter argument.
Like I said in the video, if an outdoor sled isn't an option, I believe the investment in something like the s-drive would pay for itself. If money is the issue, make sacrifices for a short season to scrape the money together. Find ways to make more and spend less. Thanks for watching!
Ive been doing the backwards on a turned off gym treadmill as a warmup, didnt consider turning it on and adding an incline.
Thats a manual treadmill.. no electricity
I just bought this treadmill 1 hour ago, too bad I didn’t see your videos before I ordered so u could have got a affliction link $. You should do a new videos on this treadmill with the name in the description.
Great video! 1. Do you know if walking backwards at the built in 13 degree angle of the treadmill affects the desired result much? 2. Do you think it would be possible to raise up the back of the treadmill onto a box / platform to level it out for backward walking?
I like the angle of the treadmill. I think it adds a good level of strain and mobility for the feet and calf/tib. The back could be raised up to be level, but I think it would take some heavy modification, as there is a strut underneath that tries to raise up the platform if it is not in the down position. Thanks for watching Mitchell!
@@dualwellness4658 Thanks for the info!
Watch at 1.5 speed to overcome the slow speed of Kentuckian speech patterns.
Solid info and worth the watch.
😂 Thanks Keith. I may have been concentrating on pronunciation too much also.
@@dualwellness4658 wasn't meant to be an insult, just to clarify. People from different places speak different. In person I likely wouldn't have noticed.
@@BeGrizzlyStrong None taken. All good brother.
What belt and straps are you using? Where did you buy them?
Been looking for this one but sold out everywhere so i went with xebex sled Trac 5000 but ended up spending $1600 i didnt want to spend that but was only thing found similar.
Thanks for this ideas! Do you know the specific model of the belt you have? Or how to find one similar?

Hi would be awesome to see a 1st month results video :)
For sure! I'll be working on it. Might will do a 3 month though as that's probably a better timeframe.

Genius. Subbed
I am not very mechanically handy with things - any chance you can post the link to the rape straps and belt too? Just don't want to buy the wrong one.
