totalperformancesports.com-Lateral Sled Drag

A lot of people talk about the value of sled dragging, including ourselves here at TPS. From fat loss to improved conditioning, it helps just about every aspect of your training including your adductor/abductor and other groin muscles. How? Ankle dragging!




Angle dragging is great for many things. It is very restorative for the hip and groin area and builds strength in the hard to target groin areas as well. Additionally, lateral ankle dragging is one of the best ways to restore function to injured adductor/abductor and other groin muscles. These areas are notoriously hard to rehab but this type of work helps speed up the healing process.




Forward or straight ankle dragging is very difficult even with the very lightest of weights. It also doesn't need to be done too often to see results. Lateral ankle dragging is simply moving sideways with the sled. This can be done many ways, for example a shuffle step or a cross behind. Either way, both methods are effective for preventing injury or simply rehabbing an already injured area.




Start out with 4-6 trips of 50' in each direction and start out light!
