Exercise Database

1. Start with a neutral spine, with the core engaged.
2. Grip the dumbbells as tightly as you can.
3. Start walking with a relatively short stride (12-18″), this will provide a stronger support base.
4. Avoid craning your neck or looking side to side; keep your ears directly over your shoulders and hips.
5. Walk for as long as possible until grip fails. Ideally, this exercise should be performed in a space where it is safe to drop the weights to the floor if necessary.

Variations

• Suitcase Farmer’s Walk: Hold a dumbbell on one side.
• Trap Bar Farmer’s Walk: Use a trap bar to allow for increased loading and less likelihood of the weights banging your leg.
