We’ve talked about the farmer’s carry, and there isn’t a simpler alternative other than just walking around. Excuse us if we don’t show you a video.

The suitcase carry is similar to the farmer’s carry, but uses only a single dumbbell or kettlebell, which will work your lateral core.

- PROGRESSION: WAITER’S CARRY
Be careful to stand up straight. Once you have the waiter’s carry down, you should ask your workout buddy for a tip; we recommend 20%.
