Sled Push
Pushing a sled. Explosive leg and full-body endurance. It works mainly the quads, glutes and calves, with help from the adductors, abs and front deltoid.
Flawless ranks it by time logged: Gold, the third of eight ranks, starts at 300 min.
How to do Sled Push
- Load the sled, stand behind it and take the handles with straight or slightly bent arms.
- Lean forward with a flat back and the core tight so the body forms a straight line from head to heels.
- Drive the sled forward with short powerful steps, pushing through the balls of the feet.
- Keep the hips low and the steps quick; go for distance or time and add weight when the pace stays fast.
These are the same steps you see in the exercise guide in the Flawless app.
