    • Shoulders remain braced throughout.
  • Regardless is running or walking, drive through the balls of your feet to push the sled. 
  • Keep your neck in a neutral position throughout.
    • Looking up or straight forward will put unwanted stress on your neck.
  • Don't let your back arch or overextend.

*Tips*

  • Different hands position will dictate the stimulus on your legs. For example, low handle placement is the toughest variation.
