How to do it

  1. 1

    Attach dual handles to a sled connected by a rope or chain. Load the sled to an appropriate weight. Face the sled, backing up until there is some tension in the line.

  2. 2

    With a handle in each hand, bend the knees slightly, keep your head and chest up, and begin with your arms extended.

  3. 3

    To initiate the movement, flex the elbow as you retract your shoulder blades, pulling the sled towards you.

  4. 4

    Take a step or two back to get tension in the line and repeat.
