Move of the Week: Sled March Push

Written by Thomas Dunstan | Oct 17, 2021 5:00:00 AM

 

The Sled March Push is a great lower body workout designed for a slow burn to gain heaps of strength in the muscles that drive the body forward. The weighted sled serves to provide resistance through the push, which activates the hamstrings, quadriceps, glutes, and calves. The large, exaggerated steps of the Sled March Push will also help strengthen your hips through their full range of motion -- which will prepare you to drive forward with power no matter the position you're in.

Why Sled March Push?

The Sled March Push is a fantastic functional strength workout. It strengthens the muscles you'll be using to drive through the opponent's line on the field. One important benefit of this workout is that it strengthens your hips through their entire range of motion. There are many workouts that don't truly work an entire muscle, just certain areas of the muscle. By exaggerating large steps to your maximum hip extension, and exerting power all the way through to the other end of your range you'll develop strength through your entire hip joint.
