Love that! 😃

I was a bricklayer and did gymnastics in my spare time. What a body in those days. But I carried the weight of the world on my shoulders, thought I could prevent all these things I saw coming. But I could not and hurt my back. I recovered with own exercises from intuition and now want my old strengh back with 65 years. In every way. No matter what experiences my fellowmen chose.

Started doing “farmer’s walks“ last week during my morning walk. 2 1/2 miles with a 5 pound kettle bell in each hand. Seems light in the beginning, but halfway through it’s a mild workout. In a few weeks I will go up to 10 pounds. Already seeing benefits.

Sounds great! This exercise is typically used for shorter distances, but it's great you adapted it for longer ones. That way, you get lots of benefits for endurance, stamina + isometric benefits on your arm muscles!

The video is very good! The exercise doesn't look very interesting. And I think there will be a difference because cruching is a moving exercise and this one is not moving the core. Anyhow, the effect of the exercise and how you do it are very well explained!

Thank you and you're absolutely right, crunches move your abs and that's why they seem more appealling because you feel like you're 'doing' something. Great points as always, thank you for following this channel 😃🩵

I recommend that you do NOT carry the weight at shoulder level. I destroyed my right shoulder. It took over a year to recover.

I do single arm farmers,then I rack it and walk it then on way back I carry it over head..I really think the overhead carry rebuilt my shoulder after several bad surgeries..

Hello and thanks for this video but will this increase my chance of doing pull-ups ?

@Fitnessdy

2 ай бұрын

For pull-ups, you should cconsider other exercises, like pull-overs, lat pull downs, cable pulls, TRX pull-ups. Maybe you even have a pull-up machine at the gym or can use an elastic band to help. Also, you can focus to control the negative first before you can work your way up to a pull-up. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress 🩵💪

I can’t do crunches due to pelvic floor dysfunction I wonder if these are safer for me? Thank you

@Fitnessdy

2 ай бұрын

Yes, absolutely! Anything that doesn't involve crunches. Dead bugs, bear plank, other plank variations, other carry variations. And if you have pelvic floor issues, be sure to strengthen your glutes and inner thighs too. Butterfly bridges, sumo deadlifts,side lunges and sumo squats are great exercises to start! Good luck and please keep me posted on your progress 🩵💪

How heavy and far can should you start? I normally try to walk 10,000 steps - can I start building up by carrying light dumbbell's during my walks, or should I just go short distances with heavier weights?

@Fitnessdy

Күн бұрын

The point of farmer's walks is using heavier weights for shorter distances. 10,000 steps is way too much for this exercise. It's like doing weighted squats for hypertrophy vs bodyweight squats for strength and mobility. Doing weighted squats for hypertrophy also means you'll be doing far fewer than bodyweight ones, but the purposes are different 😀

​@@Fitnessdy Thank you for your thoughtful reply. So sounds like it is best to treat as a strength exercise to be performed on its own rather than be combined with cardio work.

What’ about going for 5 /10 minutes with a lighter weight how long should you do

@Fitnessdy

Ай бұрын

So for men, the upper limit is 1/2 to their whole bodyweight per hand and for women about 85 pounds per hand, doing 20-40 metres max. If you're using lighter weights but heavy enough to feel challenging, I'd suggest starting with a TABATA interval [20 sec on, 10 sec off x 8]. But again, it depends on how light exactly you're going and the routine you plan to fit this into 😀

What ? I just started back to gym and am incorporating farmers walk at end of workout. I’m using 35lb kettle bells for each hand and walk for 10 minutes with a short rest when I need it. Sometimes I only rest one or twice for a few seconds. I don’t see how I’ll ever be able to carry my body weight in each hand! That’s carrying twice my body weight.Sheesh.😮

I didn’t know that

Instead of using distances on the first two types of exercises, wouldn't it be better to set a time duration, like you did with the third exercise? Much easier to track time than distance.

@Fitnessdy

Definitely can work. But the point is that these exercises differ in difficulty, that's why they're usually measured differently

@@Fitnessdy Understand different measurements. Why not just have different measures of time.

@Fitnessdy

Күн бұрын

Take this example: exercises for hypertrophy vs exercises in a Hiit routine. In the first case, trainers are taught to count reps, whereas cardio routines use time intervals. That's because people need different intervals to complete the same number of hypertrophy reps correctly. Farmer walks are the same, so that's why we have distance-based goals
