EDIT I made an edit to this blog post I posted a few days ago after one of my readers said she did sled work and hurt her calf. I consider this worth noting and edited my blog with some things Id recommend to prevent this from happening in the future. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want to add that in my 5 + years of coaching and sled work at HeavyWeights Training Center I have seen 4 people get calf/lower leg injuries from using the Sled. Considering we have had literally thousands of clients use our sleds Id consider this very low. However, sled work can be very hard on the Achilles, calves and lower leg area so be sure to ease into it. As well pay attention to foam rolling your calves before and after training. This is very important. Lastly do not start out with sled work at a high speed until your body is ready for it. Like sprinting your body has to be ready for that type of movement so at first with your sled training be sure to go slow and steady. robkingfitness/fat-loss/10-benefits-sled-training/
