Kettlebell Farmers Carry

A heavy walking carry with kettlebells in each hand — full-body strength training disguised as a stroll.

Set two heavy kettlebells on the floor at your sides, just outside your feet.
Hinge down to grip both handles with a strong, full-fist grip and a neutral spine.
Stand up by pushing through your heels and locking out your hips and knees at the top.
Pull your shoulders down and back to stand tall with the kettlebells hanging at your sides.
Walk forward with short, controlled steps, keeping your core braced and ribs stacked over hips.
Walk for the target distance or time, then hinge to set the kettlebells down with control.

Slumping the shoulders forward under the load, which strains the upper back and reduces grip endurance.
Swinging the kettlebells with each step, which wastes energy and breaks the bracing pattern.
Holding your breath through the carry, which spikes blood pressure and shortens the working set.
Setting the kettlebells down by collapsing the spine instead of hinging cleanly to the floor.
