Check out Ken and Vicki smashing out their Farmerโ€™s Carries this week! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘

This simple-looking move packs a serious punch!

Hereโ€™s why itโ€™s a great full-body exercise:
โœ… Core strength โ€“ stabilise and resist rotation
โœ… Grip & forearm strength โ€“ say goodbye to weak hands
โœ… Shoulder stability โ€“ supports posture and overhead strength
โœ… Leg drive & endurance โ€“ builds walking strength under load
โœ… Functional carry strength โ€“ perfect for real life tasks like groceries or lifting gear

Whether youโ€™re training for strength, rehab or just daily function, the Farmerโ€™s Carry is a game changer!

๐Ÿ™Œ Great job Ken and Vicki โ€“ keep carrying strong!

โžก๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘Œ Start easy:
โ€ข Use a high chair or add a few cushions to raise the seat
โ€ข Or hold onto a kitchen counter and practice a slow "pretend sit"
โ€ข Go at your pace โ€” quality over quantity!

Over time, this simple move builds strength and makes daily life easier. So next time that couch tries to trap youโ€ฆ youโ€™ll be ready! ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ’ช
