Is the prowler something you can keep in your garage, bring out and push down your street (assuming it's a quiet residential street)?
The sled hurts my back and the Prowler does not. This is probably because the belt from the sled has a tendency to produce shear on the spine as you pull if you are not very careful to place the belt across the pelvis instead of your lower abs.
Push a car. You don't carry a Prowler.

This amusing device will last about a week. There is a huge amount of leverage between the handles and the frame.
Most home gym owners do it this way.

I was doing this for a while but because I used the same stretch of road in my neighborhood (only stretch long enough that is straight), my prowler started scratching up the road. Who cares, right? Well the HOA cared. Enough to call the police. So I had to stop. Now I just do it during downtime at work for PT. I was alternating Heavy/Short with Light/Long sprints on days after training. Doesn't take long at all for adaptation to occur.

Thanks Matt. Some good stuff in there.
Would taking a rope around your waist and attaching the other end to an old tire to add some resistance, provide the same effects like a prowler workout? Although not as good, I am guessing it would be an allright substitute, since I don't have any possibility of acquiring a prowler any time soon.
