Weighted/loaded carries...
A fitness goal I have for 2022 is to add more weighted carries to my rotations. Exercises like farmer walks, suitcase walks, waiter walks, etc. I do them in Andrea DuCane's Kettlebell Boomer.
Many of the functional fitness gurus (Dan John, Dr. Stuart McGill, Gray Cook) recommend them highly. 10 Smart Loaded Carry Variations For Safer, More Effective Core Strength Loaded Carries Are Simple, Efficient—and They Work Your Whole Body You don't have to use a kettlebell. You can use anything! I have a cat that weighs 15 pounds. I carry him around.

For some reason, the second link doesn't work for me (maybe cookies?), so I googled your title, and found the article here (via yahoo): Loaded Carries Are Simple, Efficient—and They Work Your Whole Body https://www.yahoo.com/now/loaded-car...202700201.html |

Great articles, thanks for the links. I can’t do crunches or sit-ups, it always tweaks my lower back. This video recommended loaded carries for ab work. Never thought of that before, but now I sub floor ab moves with my 15 pound kettlebell.
