@jeremyschultz1 - Farmer's walk is definitely NOT just for men! Kettlebells are an amazing workout, however, please seek out an RKC instructor. These instructions aren't sufficient and technique is critical, especially as you increase in weights. Please, ladies, don't be afraid to take a class, and work your way up. I started with a 10lb bell and now use 35's and 44's. And don't worry about getting bulky. I'm 5'9 and a size 2. Go show the guys up!

Thank goodness for the videos, because the written instructions just don't explain that well.

It's more for men, but the farmer's walk (very heavy dumbbells or kettlebells, walk as far as you can while holding them) is a simple but good workout for strength.

I have been doing this workout for a couple weeks. I can feel myself getting stronger and seeing changes. A great quick workout to do in the mornings before work.
