Sled Push

Load the sled with 25% of your maximum load. If you don’t know this, choose a weight you can push for 10 minutes with short breaks. Beginners may choose to push the sled with no weight. Stand behind the sled and grab the poles with a high-grip hand position. Engage your core muscles and start pushing the sled forward as fast as you can, powering through your entire leg. Extend your hips and knees as you move the sled forward. Your foot stance should resemble your natural running position.
