The Power Sled is Versatile Piece of Exercise Equipment
Push it or pull it, this sled is the perfect training tool for developing explosive leg drive and improving acceleration. You probably have seen pictures of athletes running with the power sled attached to with a shoulder harness or waist belt and think they are only for sprint training. However, sleds are far more versatile.
Here’s a video of Gold’s Gym Personal Trainer Curin Wilkerson demonstrating the Power Sled:
Power Sled Workout Benefits:
Athletes
What sports don’t require power? – it’s a short list. A power sled workout is a great addition to any strength and conditioning program. A strength and conditioning program needs sports specific exercises and the power sled can be used in many ways to mimic the activities of virtually all sports.
Power Sleds Can Help You Achieve a Variety of Health and Fitness Goals
Power Sleds can train you for strength, stabilization and balance for your entire body. Power Sled workouts can be combined with many other forms of resistance training such as kettlebells, free weights, sandbags, body weight, or cables.
Power Sleds Allow You to Adjust Resistance
The power sled can be used by itself or you can add up to 180 pounds of weight plates. You can control the speed of your muscular contractions to create a strength training workout or power workout. For a power workout, you will be pulling the power sled as hard as you can. If you are going for strength you will use heavier weights and perform slow contractions.
Power Sleds can be Used in All Levels of Training
Power sled workouts can be used for dynamic, intense beginner, intermediate or advanced workouts.
The Power Sled at Golds Gym Middletown is available for all members and their guest. Just ask one of the Personal Trainers or Customer Service Staff when you want to use it.
