Instructions

The Farmers Carry is an exercise that works the entire body. Stand with the weights (in this example, we’re going with dumbbells) at your side. Hinge at your hips to bend over and grab each dumbbell. Lift with your legs to stand up with the weights. Walk with the weights in hand. Maintain a steady, upright position and posture. Do not allow the weight to move laterally or favor one side over the other. Use short, fast strides to increase your performance. Keep your traps relaxed and your eyes forward (not down at your feet).
