I was first introduced to sled pushes while training for my first HYROX. That strip of astroturf running through the middle of the gym looked intimidating enough, but loading a sled up and pushing it back and forth? Even worse.
As part of my training, it had to be done. I did it, survived it, and happily walked away thinking I'd never have to touch a sled again. It wasn’t until I spoke to Hollywood trainer Ramona Braganza, whose clients include Zac Efron, Jessica Alba, Kate Beckinsale and Bradley Cooper, about how she trains her A-list clients that she recommended switching my routine.
