Sled Push

A sled push is like a strong bear shoving a stubborn log across the forest floor. You lean in, drive through your legs, brace your core, and keep steady pressure on the handles to build power, work capacity, and full-body grit.

Instructions

1. Load the sled with an appropriate weight.
2. Grip the handles and lean your body forward.
3. Brace your core and keep your arms steady.
4. Drive through your legs to push the sled forward.
5. Take short, quick steps and keep moving steadily.
6. Slow down gradually and stop the sled under control.
