How to do it
- Set up. Stand next to a dumbbell or kettlebell. Bend at the hips and knees with a flat back to pick it up in one hand, then stand tall.
- Move. Walk slowly in a straight line, keeping your shoulders level and your body upright. Don't lean towards or away from the weight.
- Finish. Stop, lower the weight with a flat back by bending your knees, then swap hands and repeat for the same distance.
Common mistakes
- Leaning towards or away from the weight.
- Shrugging the loaded shoulder.
