Kettlebell Unilateral Farmers Walk

Kettlebell Unilateral Farmers Walk

Description

The kettlebell unilateral farmers walk is a loaded carry where a heavy kettlebell is held in just one hand. The unilateral load forces the core and obliques to resist lateral flexion while the grip works hard to hold the bell. It builds total-body strength, grip, and core stability.
