Stand several feet in front of a prowler sled with feet hip-width apart. Lean forward and grip the rails, handles or bars at the desired height. You can do this move with your arms extended, or you can grip the prowler with your hands close to your chest (as in a push-up position). Stagger your feet so one foot (your choice) is out in front. Brace your core and drive through the forefoot of your lead foot to push the sled forward. Continue stepping forward, pushing through the lead foot to generate force. Keep your core engaged, knees in line with your feet and your feet in line with your pelvis. Continue pushing the sled for about 50 feet, or as far as your workout space allows.
