Farmer's Walk

Explanatory Video

Description

The Farmer's Walk is a functional strength exercise that engages the entire body. To perform it, stand upright with feet shoulder-width apart and grip a heavy object in each hand, such as dumbbells or kettlebells. Keep your back straight, chest up, and shoulders retracted. Walk forward in a steady and controlled manner, maintaining a tight core to prevent excessive swinging of the weights. Focus on short, brisk steps and a steady pace, aiming to cover a certain distance or set time duration.
