โฃ
This exercise works so many muscles itโs tiring to do without any added weight. โฃ
โฃ
The focus here is not only to slow down your movement, but to focus on pushing your butt back to engage your glutes. โฃ
โฃ
This exercise is great to build hip stability through a greater range of motion! This helps prevent future hip and knee pain.โฃ

The farmer's carry is a fantastic exercise that we do on a regular basis without even realizing it. Think about anytime you pick up something by a handle and carry it someplaceโฆ thatโs a farmer's carry.โฃ
โฃ
Whyโs it called a farmerโs carry? Because farmers are strong AF, duh.โฃ
โฃ
With a single arm farmerโs hold, you are only holding something on one side of your body and instead of walking, you stand in place. โฃ
โฃ
This stationary movement forces your core muscles to fire, keeping you from being pulled to one side. In this example Iโm using a litter container. Building strength with exercises like this, will help you prevent future back problems because the muscles of your core fire more effectively.โฃ

โฃ
If you already workout, this exercise will look very similar to a Romanian deadlift. The key difference here is the resistance is placed on your upper back instead of in your hands. โฃ
โฃ
The banded good morning works on firing your posterior muscles (back, glutes, and hamstrings) as well as your core muscles to maintain your posture. โฃ
โฃ
Doing this exercise with a band instead of a barbell allows you to practice with some resistance while getting the movement down. โฃ
โฃ
โฃ
If all three of these exercises are new to you, consider trying just one in your next workout. This way you can practice it like you would with any other new skill without being overwhelmed.โฃ
