Technique
How to do the Suitcase Carry (Dumbbell)
- Stand tall with a dumbbell in one hand at your side, arm straight and shoulders level.
- Walk forward in a straight line with steady, even steps.
- Keep your torso upright the whole way; don't lean away from the weight.
- Walk for the set distance or time, then switch hands and repeat.
Form cues
Getting it right
- The point is not leaning: your core works to keep you straight.
- Keep your shoulders level; don't shrug the side holding the weight.
- Stop the dumbbell swinging by keeping your arm tight to your side.
- Use a weight that challenges your grip without bending you sideways.
