Instructions
Farmer's Walk
There are various implements that can be used for the farmers walk. These can also be performed with heavy dumbbells or short bars if these implements aren't available. Begin by standing between the implements.
After gripping the handles, lift them up by driving through your heels, keeping your back straight and your head up.
Walk taking short, quick steps, and don't forget to breathe. Move for a given distance, typically 50-100 feet, as fast as possible.
Seated One-Arm Dumbbell Palms-Up Wrist Curl
Sit on a flat bench with a dumbbell in your right hand.
Place your feet flat on the floor, at a distance that is slightly wider than shoulder width apart.
Lean forward and place your right forearm on top of your upper right thigh with your palm up. Tip: Make sure that the front of the wrist lies on top of your knees. This will be your starting position.
Lower the dumbbell as far as possible as you keep a tight grip on the dumbbell. Inhale as you perform this movement.
Now curl the dumbbell as high as possible as you contract the forearms and as you exhale. Keep the contraction for a second before you lower again. Tip: The only movement should happen at the wrist.
Perform for the recommended amount of repetitions, switch arms and repeat the movement.
