💪 THE FARMER’S CARRY: One of the most important exercises you can do as you age.

Why?
Because life is a carry.
You carry groceries.
You carry laundry.
You carry grandkids.
You carry luggage.
And most importantly—you carry yourself through life.

The Farmer’s Carry builds real-world strength, improves balance, challenges your core, strengthens your grip, and helps you stay independent for years to come.

✅ Key Technique Cues:
• Stand tall with your chest up, shoulders pulled back and down, and eyes looking forward.
• Brace your core as if preparing for a gentle punch to the stomach—avoid leaning or twisting.
• Maintain a firm grip on the weights without shrugging your shoulders toward your ears.
• Take controlled, steady steps and keep your body upright throughout the carry.
• Breathe normally—avoid holding your breath, especially during longer carries.

⭐ ACTIVE AGER CHALLENGE ⭐
How much weight can you carry for 1 minute?
A great goal is to work toward carrying approximately 25-50% of your body weight (combined between both hands) for 60 seconds while maintaining good posture and control.
Example:
• 120 lb person = 30-60 lbs total
• 150 lb person = 38-75 lbs total
• 180 lb person = 45-90 lbs total

Remember: Start where you are. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress.
