Exercise Description

The backward sled push builds serious leg strength and power while torching calories. It targets your quads hard while improving your balance and coordination.

How To

1. Load the sled with weight plates and attach the straps or handles. 2. Face the sled and grab the handles or straps with both hands at chest height. 3. Step backward slowly, keeping your chest up and core tight as you pull the backward sled push. 4. Take small, controlled steps while maintaining tension on the straps throughout the movement. 5. Continue the backward sled push for your target distance, focusing on steady rhythm and form.

Form Tips

• Keep your core braced tight throughout the entire backward sled push movement. • Take small, quick steps rather than long strides for better control and power. • Lean slightly forward but keep your chest up and shoulders back. • Pull with your arms while driving through your legs for maximum effectiveness.

Common Mistakes

• Taking steps that are too long, which reduces power and makes the backward sled push unstable. • Letting your core go loose, which wastes energy and hurts your posture. • Rushing the movement instead of maintaining a steady, controlled backward sled push pace.
