  1. I really appreciate the practical nature of these exercises.

    Carry: Moving with some kind of weight in the hands or on the body

    Farmers Carries (walking with heavy stuff in your hands)
    Rucking/Walking with some kind of load on your back

    And the core helps me maintain stability.

    Most enjoyable for the accomplishment are hill sprints. Oh, my. Rubber legs. And, what a rewarding feeling when done.

    Carry on

  2. Love this. I would like to share some of my doings:
    Tip over a tractor tire
    Carry a bale of hay for some distance
    Throw a bale of hay
    Stack a bale of hay higher and higher
    Pull baling wire or string off a bale without cutting it.
    Split firewood
    Carry rounds for some distance to your truck
    Squat with a sack of feed
    Hold a sack of feed in front of you with your fists clenched (grip strength is important. It also engages your core if you are holdiong out front of you)
    Stack firewood quickly (bending, picking up, walking and stacking)
    Don’t ride your horse all the time. Walk or jog it.
    Stick your toes under a gate and do sit ups
    Do burpees before your chores – this forces you to warm up and do your chores more efficiently.
    Walk briskly or jog over rough country
    Jump across ditches and streams
    Make sure you sweat a little every day.
    Perform all actions with your head held high and your waist loose and relaxed. Burden your legs, not your back.
