Warm Up

Light Row or bodyweight stuff for 3 - 5 mins plus stretch

FARMER’S WALK

Preparation :
  • Choose a weight that can be controlled along a frontal plane.

Movement :
  • Keep chin tucked, chest high and look straight ahead.
  • Grip weight so that palms face the thigh.
  • Take comfortable stride lengths and maintain even cadence in your stepping (avoid swinging the weight to avoid putting excess torque on your spine).
  • If any compensations occur (i.e. pronation distortion, Trendelenburg etc.) stop the exercise and decrease the load.
  • Progression: To increase neuromuscular challenge of this exercise, move from two extremities to one - perform movement with only one weight in one hand (palm facing the thigh).
