Weight Sled Apparatus and Method

Abstract

A flexible weight sled includes a main body member made from a flexible material, such as a nylon webbing, canvas, or the like. The main body member includes a weight strap and a rear weight strap that is used to attach one or more weights to the main body member in a removable manner. Two pairs of upper body pulling straps are attached to the front portion of the main body member, and in a preferred embodiment, the upper body pulling straps include a pair of handles on a distal end thereof. The weight sled may be folded or rolled up for purposes of storage and/or transport.
