Exercise Four is the Carry

Exercise Four is the Carry

With so many exercises to choose from, it was difficult to limit this list to just five.  I tried to include categories of exercises, exercises that have a lot of options for making them harder or easier depending on fitness level and training age.  It doesn’t matter how old you are though.  These exercise categories apply to your program because of how transferable they are to life outside the gym.

I hope you find value in this list.  An exercise or two might just make it into your program.  The exercises I talk about in this series aren’t in any particular order.  There is space for all of them in your programming and they can pretty much fit anywhere.  

It is important to properly mobilize the body and activate the muscles you’re going to use prior to your workout to help prevent injury and get the most out of your time in the gym.  All of the exercises can be incorporated into your warm-up.  It just depends on how you treat the setup and execution.  Error on the side of simple early in your workout program and progress complexity as you go.  But, complete complex movements in individual workouts as soon as possible after the warm-up.  Most goals would have you challenge the nervous system while it’s fresh.

Let’s get into it!

Carries have been around since forever.  That’s how we get things from place to place.  Practicing carrying properly is invaluable as we navigate the world around us.

Back to posture again…  Carrying the weight directly over the feet and controlling the weight we carry helps avoid injury for many things we do in life, especially our more adventurous activities.

Like all of the exercises listed here, carries vary and can be progressed or regressed based on goals, fitness level and a host of other factors.  Carries are super simple and super effective.
