Exercise Description

The farmers walk exercise builds grip strength and core stability while working your entire body. It's one of the best functional exercises for real-world strength.

How To

1. Pick up heavy weights (dumbbells, kettlebells, or farmer's walk handles) in each hand 2. Stand tall with your shoulders back and core tight for the farmers walk 3. Walk forward with small, controlled steps while keeping your body straight 4. Keep the weights at your sides without letting them swing during your farmers walk 5. Walk for time or distance, then carefully set the weights down

Form Tips

• Keep your shoulders pulled back and down throughout the entire farmers walk movement • Take smaller steps to maintain balance and control with the heavy weights • Don't let the weights touch your legs or swing away from your body during farmers walk • Breathe normally and keep your core engaged the whole time

Common Mistakes

• Letting your shoulders roll forward or hunch up during the farmers walk • Taking steps that are too big, which makes you lose balance and control • Rushing the movement instead of focusing on proper farmers walk form and control
