The Sled
The power sled, or prowler sled, is a staple of conditioning routines. This tool offers one of the best return on investment of any gym accessory, as it can produce incredible results in a very short period of time.
The Sled Push
The most common exercise performed with a prowler sled is the sled push. Load up the sled with weights, get into position, push. The height at which the poles are gripped affects the resistance as well as the muscle group used. A high grip (body at 45-degree angle) is recommended for beginners and will work muscle groups more evenly. A lower grip (body closer to a 90-degree angle) will make it easier to break inertia and will focus the workout on leg and calf muscles.
The sled push mimics the lower body mechanics of running but without the repeated foot-to-ground impacts. This means significantly less wear and tear on articulations over time.
Other Exercises
A harness (not included) can be attached to the sled, which allows for a wide variety of pull and drag exercises
