Waiters’ Carry Exercise by Lindsey Mortimer

The waiters’ carry exercise is a great exercise for overhead stability. It will use numerous shoulder blade and rotator cuff muscles to control the weight overhead. It is also a great exercise for strengthening your wrist and improving your control over it! 

How-To Steps:

  1. Using a kettlebell placed upside down or dumbbell placed on its side lift your arm to shoulder height 
  2. Elbow should be bent to 90 degrees. Wrist should be in neutral, dont let it fall into extension/crease 
  3. Start by standing. Progress to walking around, doing some lunges or marches on the spot. Be sure to keep the kettlebell steady!
