You can buy one from Dave...and that's a great sled; likewise, Dave is a worthwhile guy to give your money to. Unsurpassed customer service, if you ask me.

You can also build one. I've seen people have one made by a welder, or use an old pallet, etc... Be like Martha Stewart and use whatever you have laying around the house.

The rope you can probably get at a hardware store. We have one for pulling and one double-looped for ankle dragging and doing shoulder work with the sled.

Here's a thread with some moves:

You can drag it slow like they do...super slow, like a walk, etc...

OR...

You can do sprints with it like I do. Both work different types of cardio.

We do sprints and endurance work too...at least I do. Just didn't film it.

You load the sled up to 300-600 pounds and pull or drag it???

Heh?

Heh?

You said that you do sprints with the sled...did you mean that you did sled drag work like I did...with 300-600 pounds of weight on it?

Doing sprints with that much weight...truly fries your legs and your lungs...
