This is the Todd and Tyler Radio Empire.

Right from the way ahead of your file, they released a study out of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

And the source is actually dated yesterday.

Apparently, walking backwards is good for you.

Damn right.

Janet Dufek, a biomechanist and faculty member at UNLV as research and mechanics of both walking and landing from jumps to identify ways of preventing injuries and improving physical performance.

She was a former college basketball player.

She's done her fair share of backwards walking and their trainer in Nashville.

Kevin Patterson recommends the treadmill is the safest place to retro walk.

You can adjust it to a slow speed.

He also likes to turn the treadmill off, term deadmill.

Oh, yeah.

What's that mean?

You got to make it move.

You propel it yourself.

Now, there's a machine specifically for that at my gym, and I find it very difficult to operate that one.

Well, usually those ones that you have to propel have a bit of a curve to them.

Yes, that's why.

Because it's a more natural gate. And I don't think walking backwards on that would be very easy. No, I find it hard to walk forwards on those. Yeah. Because you've got to keep a certain pace. Yeah. And I don't know that any of those treadmills you could put enough into the motorized ones. Oh, yeah, you can. My son and I were, we would train football with him this summer before he goes to camp. We go to a local high school field, a turf field. And I walk backwards on that because you could just walk up and down the field and know nothing's behind you. Right. And it's flat, turf. That's the thing. That's why I think it'd be... I'm not going to walk outside behind,

walking backwards or do it. Even on a track, I think I'd feel, I'd feel a little bit scared to, you know, trip over. I mean, at least on a treadmill, you know for sure, there's nothing behind you. Treadmills easy. If you be on a track, once in a while, you might trip over a soccer goal.

Yeah, that happens.

But walking on not, unless I do the treadmill too at the gym, but mainly backwards. But walking without a treadmill is tougher than walking with a treadmill. So you're right. That's what it says that. But backwards, yeah, the treadmill is easier because you're going to fall walking outside backwards. I would walk the trail sometimes, but only if Christy and the dogs were my scout. Right. Yeah. I'm sure they love that job. Can you make sure I don't trip anything? I suggest the football fields. If you would trip when you fall, walk backwards, you're just going to fall on turf, you know. And then they mentioned that, you know, athletes do this naturally.
