How to do it
- Place a heavy dumbbell beside each foot, then bend down with a flat back and grip the handles firmly.
- Stand up tall with your chest up, shoulders back, and arms straight at your sides.
- Walk with short, controlled steps, keeping the weights still at your sides.
- Stay upright and braced; don't lean to one side or let your shoulders round forward.
- Set the weights down the same way you picked them up, with a flat back.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
