How to do the Prowler Sprint

  1. 1

    Place your sled on an appropriate surface, loaded to a suitable weight. The sled should provide enough resistance to require effort, but not so heavy that you are significantly slowed down.

  2. 2

    You may use the upright or the low handles for this exercise. Place your hands on the handles with your arms extended, leaning into the implement.

  3. 3

    With good posture, drive through the ground with alternating, short steps. Move as fast as you can for a short distance.
