Farmers’ walks - carrying weight in each hand and moving with steady control - are catching on as a simple, full-body exercise that mirrors real life. In this episode Ageless Workout creators Nate Wilkins and Shebah Carfagna, explain why this straightforward movement does far more than build strength. It boosts grip power - a marker often linked with overall health and longevity - and helps improve posture, core stability, and balance. Switch to a single side carry and you add a strong anti-tilt challenge that wakes up the entire midsection.

From staying ready for travel to handling everyday tasks with confidence, the farmers’ walk reflects the kind of movement that supports aging well. 

This is the latest in our 20-part series, Move for Life. You should consult your healthcare providers before starting or modifying a fitness routine.
