Suitcase Walk

Description

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a kettlebell or a heavy weight in one hand only, with your arm straight alongside your body. Engage your trunk and glutes, lower both shoulders to the same level, and keep your torso vertical, without leaning toward the load or compensating on the other side. Walk forward at a controlled pace, placing each foot in line with your direction of travel: resist lateral leaning and rotation of your torso, keeping your pelvis level and your ribs down. Keep a firm grip on the handle and regular breathing, then perform the same work on the other side. Perform the distance or duration indicated by your physical therapist, then set the load down by bending your hips and knees.
