Suitcase Carry's
Starting Posture
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a weight in one hand by your side.
How to Exercise
Walk forward while keeping your core engaged and shoulder down. Keep your arm straight and try not to let the weight touch your body. Walk for a certain distance or time, then switch sides.
Breath Control
Inhale as you set up for the carry, exhale as you walk with the weight.
Common errors
Leaning to one side, letting the weight touch your body, and losing core engagement.
Weights
You can use a dumbbell, kettlebell, or any heavy object that can be carried safely.
Grips
Hold the weight in a comfortable grip that allows you to keep your arm straight and shoulders down.
Variations
You can perform the suitcase carry with a single weight in one hand, or try a farmer's carry using weights in both hands for a different challenge.
