Farmers' walking generally refers to an exercise method to practice leg strength and endurance, mainly in outdoor or gym to simulate farmers' walking posture, so as to achieve the training purpose similar to long-distance walking. In specific practice, you can wear appropriate shoes, with your hands akimbo, slightly wider steps, slightly bent knees and consistent steps. You can also add some weights to increase the load and improve the training difficulty.

This exercise mainly exercises the muscles of knee joint, ankle joint and hip joint, which is suitable for improving leg muscle strength and endurance. You can practice in parks, beaches, sports fields and other relatively flat ground, or you can practice in the gym with equipment similar to a walker. Because exercise requires the body to keep moving forward and the movements are relatively low-key, it is easy to persist in exercising in an outdoor environment with a feeling of being close to nature.

Matters needing attention in practicing farmers' walking

Comfortable to wear: Wear loose, breathable and comfortable sportswear to exercise freely, and take appropriate preventive measures, such as sun protection and insect prevention.

Moderate pace: Too fast or too slow pace is not conducive to the improvement of training effect. We should adjust our pace and walking speed according to our physical condition and endurance level.

Pay attention to posture: hold your chest and abdomen, shorten your stride, and reduce the impact of your feet on the ground, thus reducing the pressure on your joints and waist.

Negative importance is moderate: in order to increase the training intensity, you can appropriately increase the load, such as carrying a kettle or a schoolbag, but not too heavy, so as not to cause adverse effects on the joints.

Pay attention to rest and hydration: after the training, take proper rest and relaxation activities, replenish water in time, and eat some high-calorie food when necessary to supplement the consumed energy.

Finally, it is suggested that before any new exercise, please consult a health professional or coach, conduct targeted training according to your actual situation, and pay attention to safety issues.
