Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: the suitcase carry
If you clicked this article thinking you were going to get tips about going on holiday, we can only apologise. But don’t go: the functional exercise that we’re explaining will make handling your luggage even easier. That’s because the suitcase carry is one of the most functional exercises that there is.
By loading one of the most common every day moves – walking – with a kettlebell, we don’t only get better at carrying heavy loads but also train our ability to carry them properly. Not only does that protect your body from accidental injuries, but you’ll also be building a lot of core muscle that will support the rest of your training.
