Farmer’s Walks develop raw strength and coordination. They improve grip, posture, and core endurance—and they're surprisingly taxing.
Instructions
- Stand between a pair of heavy dumbbells, trap bars, or farmer’s handles.
- Grab the handles and lift by driving through your heels, keeping your back straight.
- Begin walking with short, controlled steps, maintaining an upright posture.
- Cover the desired distance, then lower the implements safely.
