Sled Drag (Forward)

How to do it

  1. Attach a harness or strap to the sled and face forward, walking away from the sled to create tension.
  2. Set the feet hip-width apart and lean the torso forward slightly to keep constant tension on the line.
  3. Drive forward with quick, powerful strides, pushing through the quadriceps and glutes with each step.
  4. Keep the core braced to stabilize the torso as the sled's resistance pulls against your forward drive.
  5. Pump the arms naturally at your sides and keep breathing rhythmic with your stride cadence.
  6. Cover the set distance at a steady pace, avoiding overstriding, which reduces power transfer into the ground.
