Step-by-step

  1. Grab the sled straps or handles and lean back with your arms extended
  2. Bend your knees, keep your chest up, and brace your core
  3. Drive your elbows back to pull the handles to your ribs; the sled will slide toward you
  4. Walk backward with small steps and extend your arms again
  5. Keep the pull-walk rhythm going for the full distance
