Exercise Description:
The farmer carry exercise is a compound movement that involves holding heavy weights in your hands and walking for a set distance or time. To perform the exercise, follow these steps:
- Start by standing in a comfortable position with your feet hip-width apart and your arms at your sides.
- Hold a heavy weight in each hand, such as a dumbbell or kettlebell. The weight should be heavy enough to challenge you but not so heavy that you can't maintain good form.
- Engage your core and keep your back straight as you walk forward for a set distance or time.
- Try to maintain a steady pace and avoid swaying or leaning to one side.
- When you reach the end of the set distance or time, carefully set the weights down and rest for a few seconds before repeating the exercise.
To prevent injury during the farmer carry exercise, it's important to use proper form and to avoid overexerting yourself. Start with a light weight and gradually increase the weight as you become stronger. If you experience any pain or discomfort during the exercise, stop immediately and consult with a healthcare professional.
The farmer carry exercise can be beneficial for athletes and individuals involved in sports that require upper body strength and endurance, such as rugby, football, or weightlifting. It can also be helpful for individuals who want to improve their overall strength and conditioning.
