Backward Drag

How to perform Backward Drag

1. Attach the sled straps securely to the loaded sled and check that the route behind you is clear.
2. Face the sled, hold the straps, and step back until they are taut.
3. Lean back slightly with your arms steady and knees softly bent.
4. Walk backward using short steps, extending through each supporting leg to move the sled.
5. Keep tension in the straps and use a pace that lets you maintain control of each step.
6. Slow down and stop before relaxing the straps.
