Movement instructions

1
Wearing either a harness or a loose weight belt, attach the chain to the back so that you will be facing away from the sled. Bend down so that your hands are on the ground. Your back should be flat and knees bent. This is your starting position.
2
Begin by driving with legs, alternating left and right. Use your hands to maintain balance and to help pull. Try to keep your back flat as you move over a given distance.

Technique guidance

Set a firm trunk position before lifting, then use short, regular breaths while moving. Do not hold your breath for the entire carry.

Clear the route before lifting and keep other people away from the implement path.
Choose a load you can pick up, carry, turn, and set down under control.
Inspect the implement and clear its movement path before starting.
