Farmer’s walk (dumbbell)
Intermediate30 secondsNo jumping
How to do it
- Select the appropriate pair of dumbbells and place them on both sides of your body.
- Lean forward and bend your knees to grab the dumbbells.
- Bring your chest out and back in a neutral position.
- Push through your heels and extend your hips to deadlift the weights from the floor.
- Stand tall, retract your shoulder blades, keep your abs engaged, hold the dumbbells by your sides, and begin walking forward.
- Move forward at a steady pace, keeping your body rigid and breathing steadily as you do.
- Grip the dumbbell handles as hard as possible and walk as far as you can.
- Once finished, lower the dumbbells by first pushing your buttocks back and then bending your knees, similar to how you would for a deadlift.
