| Description: | Sled Push
- Load your pushing sled with the desired weight.
- Take an athletic posture, leaning into the sled with your arms fully extended, grasping the handles. Push the sled as fast as possible, focusing on extending your hips and knees to strengthen your posterior chain.
- Sprinting will enhance speed and cardiovascular capacity.
- Walking slow and controlled will improve strength.
Sled Pull
- Load a sled with the desired weight, attaching a rope or TRX straps to the sled that you can hold onto.
- Begin the exercise by moving backwards for a given distance. Leaning back, extend through the legs for short steps to move as quickly as possible.
Both of these movements can be completed with a Prowler type sled, or a weight bench.
