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
- Divide your bags or backpack contents evenly.
- Hold one in each hand or use both straps.
- 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.
