Sled pulling is such an important piece to the program at CFG. There are so many benefits – a few to mention in this little “Tip of the Day” include:
- great general conditioning
- a focus on the hams and glutes help balance out the strength ratio with the quads
- dare I use the term “functional” fitness?… but it truly is
- develops strength and power which translates nicely to lifts
- low injury risk and also relatively low impact
- gets us outside for a dose of vitamin D
A few tips include getting down low and using the body behind the push, not just the arms. Maintain a strong core, neutral spine and generate momentum with the body.
