The Farmer's Walk

So I am new in town. Today I had the chance to see yet another part of it, and on that occasion I learned about an exercise called the Farmer's Walk.

It has nothing to do with farmers and it has everything to do with walking. Like walking along dusty roads like these.

Here's how it works: You take two heavy things of identical weight.(Like, for example, water buckets. Or suitcases. Or just plain weights.) Then you carry them a certain distance and you take the time. That's it. I met a guy who did two 80 pounders in 26 seconds. (That sounds a little... uhm...nevermind.)
I started out with 75ers, it took me 42 seconds over the same distance.
What an experience.
