Description:	Start with a neutral spine, with the core engaged. Grip the dumbbells as tightly as you can. Start walking with a relatively short stride (12-18"), this will provide a stronger support base. Avoid craning your neck or looking side to side; keep your ears directly over your shoulders and hips. 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.
Common Error(s):	Not engaging core
