Purpose: This exercise builds overall strength in the lower body.
Benefits: This exercise involves many other muscles.
Center yourself with the yoke across the back of your shoulders. You feet should be about hip-width apart. Keep your head facing forward, not down. This is your starting position. Walk taking short, quick steps. Do not forget to breathe. Hold the side posts of the yoke to help steady it and hold it in position. Move for a given distance, as fast as possible.
The muscles of the lower back straighten the spine. They work together with the abdominals to keep the spine upright. The Barbell Deadlift is considered to be the king of exercises. No other exercise will work your body so much.
