omg, SO DO I!!!! So angering to see that. On the ski machine too. GRR.

 

[AAP]

Fuck yeah I see people doing that. And I overheard one of them claiming that it "really did burn 30% more calories when you walk backwards."

 

[Pamela]

I walk backwards down hills!

But the treadmill?

 

[WODIN]

LMAO! I love it. I'm so going to spread this one.

 

[Daisy_]

that is so funny. I wish I could see it. hehe

 

[AAP]

I want to know who spread this shit to start with. These people were serious. Probably some damn YM magazine or a skinny ass personal trainer. ACE certified.

[jay1]

I hope I see someone doing this.

 

[sasharawkz]

I get people walking backwards on the tread who are rehabing an injury (ankle/knee). I don't do it for calorie reasons though..that sounds stupid.

Q. I am hearing about treadmills that go backwards. What are the benefits and/or purpose of walking backwards on a treadmill?

A. There are indeed treadmills that can allow you to face the front of the treadmill and walk forwards or backwards. Previously, one had to face backwards to walk backwards on a treadmill. This is not very safe and does not allow you to look at the treadmill's data computers or any T.V.'s or such that may be in front of the treadmills in a commercial gym. It also does not allow for the proper use of the incline feature when walking backwards.

Walking backwards on a treadmill concentrates on your glutes (buttocks) and hamstrings (back of upper leg). If you are comfortable walking backwards on a treadmill, this is a great opportunity to concentrate on your glutes and hamstrings as well as give your usual treadmill workout some variety.

I hope they fall in feces too.

I've seen this and just thought they were retarded.

Some pretty comical stuff happens in the gym



...especially when Killahbee works out.

There is this guy in my gym who seriously will run in circles.. like he's running forwards for a minute, and then switches sideways and does sidesteps crossing over his feet, then switches and runs backwards, then goes the other sideways, and runs sideways again and then back to running fowards.. he looks so serious when he does it. I always make it a point to roll my eyes and laugh obnoxiously.

 

[jackangel]

so angering hahaha

silly canadians

Lumberg told me this once.

*I've never walked backwards on any treadmill. I do see a lady standing sideways on the Elliptical machine all the time. And she's jacked!

 

[Daisy_Girl]

People do it at my gym all the time. I also see then going backwards on the StepMill. WTF?

 

[Dunk]

b/c you do. look it up.

 

[theoak01]

Its all i can to to keep from picking up an olympic bar and using his pelvis to plant and do an over the treadmil polevault maneuver so that i knee strike Ms. Comfortableshoes in the nutsack.

I walk backwards all the time... it hits my upper quads, glutes and hams more and changes the muscles being worked. As far as calories... not sure. It is harder though. Don't be a hater when you see a backwards gaiter.

yup i seen this too, many times.

 

[jnevin]

I just don't understand why people do this shit on a treadmill. Go to a track and work on shit like that. Backwards running, fuck it, but power skips, walking lunges, etc. are great. Run some stairs outside, but don't fucking act like you just ran up 5 flights then flip around and act like you're going back down on a goddamn stair master. This kind of behavior is nothing but an invitation to cropdust you with my chum trail after eating garlic mashed potatoes with a big steak topped with a roquefort sauce.

 

[deltreefitness]

I thought running faster burned more calories? I guess that's too passe?

On a side note; some of you are real gym snobs lol.

I will not complain about the backwards ellipticallers in my gym anymore. You win.
