Sled pulls when you don't have a sled.
Sled pulls. They rock.
I don't own a sled, live in a street where I could pull a sled and I'm not joining a gym just for the sled.
But I wanted to pull a sled.
So I improvised: I took the handcart I use to tow my kids and our piles of beach stuff around in summer and I pull my kids up the hill to the car from kindergarten every day.
I walk backwards up a hill pulling a handcart holding two preschool kids and all of their outdoor gear for around 450 m/1500 ft.
It's actually hard work and it activates far more of my glutes and hip stabilizers along with my quads than just walking backwards on a treadmill. Not that I am going to stop doing that.
At the end of the day, I'm so grateful to Ben Patrick for drawing so much awareness to knee health and providing such great resources!
