Prowler Sprint Exercise
Builds strength and control by improving stability, coordination, and efficient movement.
Description
Prowler sprint focuses on controlled movement and maintaining proper body alignment throughout the exercise. The goal is to create tension where needed while avoiding unnecessary strain or momentum. This helps improve movement quality, joint stability, and overall physical control.
Instructions:
- Place your sled on an appropriate surface, loaded to a suitable weight. The sled should provide enough resistance to require effort, but not so heavy that you are significantly slowed down.
- You may use the upright or the low handles for this exercise. Place your hands on the handles with your arms extended, leaning into the implement.
- With good posture, drive through the ground with alternating, short steps. Move as fast as you can for a short distance.
Exercise FAQ
What’s the main benefit of this cardio drill?
It builds conditioning and coordination. The key is steady effort with good mechanics rather than going all-out immediately.
How can I make it easier at home?
Lower the intensity, shorten the interval, or swap to a low-impact version. You can still get a strong conditioning effect.
How do I avoid unnecessary impact or joint stress?
Use softer landings, keep your posture tall, and avoid overstriding. Quality movement reduces wear and tear.
