For those of you who are unfamiliar with sled dragging, it is a conditioning technique used by NFL athletes, powerlifters, bodybuilders, and men & women from all walks of life who want to raise their overall conditioning levels. This is often the "missing link" between weight training (resistance training) and cardio/aerobic activity. If you improve your base level of conditioning you will be able to handle more intense weights when weight training, and you will increase your odds of having enhanced aerobic capacity. You are welcome to download the free sled dragging report; and we encourage you to send it to your friends as we think it is a terrific way to exercise -- especially for those who dislike doing either aerobic training or weight training.
