The purpose is to provide alternatives to all of our workouts for those who do not have access to a full gym.
SledWork... Without the gym
Each exercise will have a few key coaching points. Reps and sets are determined by what you are trying to do by reverse sledding. See 5 Benefits of Sled Training for more info.
Reverse Hill
- This is the most basic progression
- Small slow steps (heel to toe)
- Push through the big toe
- Once the small slow steps become easy you can speed up the steps for more intensity
- Progress forward by taking larger steps until you are essentially bounding back up the hill
Car Pushes
- Very simple, find an empty road or parking lot
- Make sure the area is flat
- Use the parking brake to increase resistance
- Always have someone in the car at all times
Deadmill
- Leave the treadmill off
- Focus on increasing speed to add intensity.
- Sets of 30 to 45 seconds for maximum speed is a good starting point
- Try different treadmills, they all have different levels of resistance
Creative Examples
Here are a few creative examples of how our athletes used what was available to them, in the gym, or outside of it.
