Heavy Farmer Walk

Description

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, with a kettlebell or a heavy weight in each hand, with your arms straight alongside your body. Engage your trunk, lower your shoulders, and straighten your torso to maintain alignment between your head, shoulders, and pelvis. Walk forward at a controlled pace, placing each foot in line with your direction of travel, without letting your pelvis tip from side to side and without arching your lower back. Keep a firm grip on the handles, your arms passive alongside your body, and regular breathing despite the load. Perform the distance or duration indicated by your physical therapist, then set the loads down by bending your hips and knees.
