Strong Looks Good on a Cowgirl

Strength has always been part of the western way of life. Not the kind you chase for a mirror, but the kind you build so you can show up, hold your ground, and carry your own weight (sometimes literally).


For me, fitness is about staying capable, for long shoot days, hauling gear, working horses, long nights in the shop, and building a business that demands endurance as much as creativity.


One of my favorite tools to train strength, grit, and stamina?


Why the Weight Sled Just Makes Sense

A sled workout is simple, raw, and effective.

No complicated machines or flashy gym gimmicks. Just resistance, movement, and effort.


Here’s why I love incorporating sled training into my routine:

1. It Builds Functional Strength

Sled pulls train your legs, glutes, core, and upper body all at once. It mimics real-life work driving through resistance, which translates directly to everyday strength.

If you:

  • Carry camera gear

  • Lift hay, tack, or inventory

  • Stand on your feet all day

  • Work long, physical hours

This kind of training matters.

2. Low Impact, High Reward

Sled training is easier on your joints while still delivering serious results. That means:

  • Less wear and tear

  • More longevity

  • Stronger movement patterns

It’s the kind of workout you can stick with—not just survive.

3. Mental Toughness Included

There’s no coasting with a sled.

Every pull teaches you how to:

  • Stay focused when it burns

  • Keep moving when it gets uncomfortable

  • Finish what you start

That mindset carries over—into business, creativity, and everyday life.


The Sled I Use

I use the Elite Twin Weight Sled Trainer that’s easy to store, durable, and works on a variety of surfaces. Perfect if you don’t train in a commercial gym.
