Our Free Saturday 8am Community Workout will be held at our location on Fair Oaks Ave
________________________________________________
The Fall 626 Endurance Group has been tackling sprints, interval training, and strength work to improve their 5k…and they were recently introduced to waiter walks (a close cousin to the farmer carry).
What’s the deal with this farmer carry/waiter walk/suitcase carry thing anyway?
Ah, my dear grasshopper, where do I begin…
The farmer carry (along with its variations the waiter walk and suitcase carry) is one of the simplest and undoubtedly one of the most effective functional exercises we do. (In fact, I personally do them at least once or twice a week in my personal training). Why? The farmer carry and its variations utilize virtually ALL of your muscle groups in one simple movement- carrying heavy sh*t a specified distance.
From your arms (biceps-triceps-shoulders-forearms-to fingers), back (yes, upper-mid-and lower back), serious core strength keeping you vertical (and obliques to keep you from crumbling), legs (quads-hammies-calves-to feet), and lungs- you are training for anything and everything life might throw at you. What more could you ask for in an exercise?
Go get it!
