How to handle weight

Start with a pair you can walk 30 m without leaning. Progress distance first, then load. Suitcase: half the farmer load.

Usual programming

3–5 × 20–40 m.

Caution

Stand tall, packed shoulders, even steps. Put the bells down with control — do not drop them next to someone’s foot on the gym floor.

Setup

Bells at sides, stand tall, walk in a line, put down with control.

Cues

  • Don’t lean
  • Short steps if needed
  • Breathe

Common mistakes

  • Shrugging into the ears
  • Swaying
  • Dropping the bells
