Are Farmer’s Carries One Of The Best Exercises?

We love Farmer’s Carries at Ignite, but they may not be a movement you’ve heard of, or thought to add to your workout routine.

Here’s the skinny on Farmer’s Carries

Farmer’s Carries are a type of exercise that involves carrying heavy weights, typically dumbbells or kettlebells, in each hand while walking for a set distance or time, and can help improve overall strength, stability, and cardiovascular fitness.

Top 4 benefits of including farmer’s carries in your workout routine:

1 – Full-body workout:

Farmer’s Carries involve multiple muscle groups, including the shoulders, back, arms, core, and legs, making them a great full-body workout.

2 – Improved grip strength:

Carrying heavy weights in each hand can help improve grip strength, which can be beneficial for activities such as lifting and carrying heavy objects in everyday life.

3 – Increased cardiovascular fitness:

Walking while carrying heavy weights can increase your heart rate and challenge your cardiovascular system, making Farmer’s Carries a great cardiovascular exercise in addition to a strength-building exercise.

4 – Improved stability:

Farmer’s Carries require balance and stability, as you must maintain control of the weights while walking. This can help improve your overall stability and coordination.

Overall, Farmer’s Carries are a valuable addition to a well-rounded workout routine.

As with any exercise, it is important to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and weight of your farmer’s carries as you become more comfortable and stronger.
