If you’re looking for a high quality, durable, and effective Multipurpose and All-Surface Fitness Sled that can be used on grass, asphalt, sidewalks, gym floors, and school hallways then this one is definitely worth checking out. The design of the sled is sleek and compact, making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces. It also takes up much less space than other sleds on this list and is very quick to load and unload. The sled also stores vertically which is very convenient.
Adding sled and prowler training to your workouts will give you a great full body conditioning exercise that can help you build muscle mass as well as burn some serious calories. Not only that, but it’s great for building strength and endurance without the negative impact on your joints that traditional weight lifting can have.
There are many different types of sleds and prowlers on the market and they can be used to train for a variety of exercises. They are usually designed to train for sprinting, pushing, and pulling movements as well as a combination of all of them. Some of them even allow for alternating between push and pull movements for an all-around workout that will work the upper arms, chest, and legs.
One of the most versatile sleds on this list is the Xebex XT3 Sled. It has a unique design that eliminates the need for extra weight plates to get a challenging workout. It uses a magnetic resistance system that is controlled by the user’s speed and effort, meaning that the harder and faster they go the more resistance they will feel. This sled is also very easy to store because it can be stood up vertically and will fold into itself.
Another really cool feature of this sled is that it has an optional monitor that can display performance metrics and connect to third-party apps. It’s a nice addition to have especially for those who want to track their workouts. Xebex has also made the handles of this sled extremely unique and well-designed. They are narrow in the bottom and then taper out at the top to make it comfortable to drive with both hands. They can also be adjusted to various heights depending on the user.
Otey didn’t love that the sled only allows you to push it in one direction and that the novel resistance system does not make it very easy to turn around once you’ve run as far as you need to on the push part of your workout. Overall though, this is a solid sled that can be used on just about any surface and is very fast to load and unload. It’s also affordable which is always a plus!
