Why it helps

Carrying everything on one side can twist your posture. Balancing the weight is easy and uses more of your muscles.

How to do it

  1. Divide your bags or backpack contents evenly.
  2. Hold one in each hand or use both straps.
  3. Keep shoulders level as you walk.

Make it easier

Carry fewer items per trip.

Make it harder

Add a farmer's walk of 30 seconds with sturdy bags.

Do not carry more than you can comfortably manage.
