When it comes to fitness, there are few movements more practical than a carry. A suitcase carry is one weight carried with a single hand. Not only do suitcase carrys require balance, coordination, core strength, and grip strength, they require your core to stabilize asymmetrically. If you have one side working hard to carry weight, the other side has to work even harder to keep you stable and upright.

How to do Suitcase Carry:

1. Get into a deadlift stance with one bell outside one of your feet.

2. As the hips reach back, grab the kettlebell handle. and imagine there's a kettlebell on the other side and reach for that handle too.

3. Create tension in your core, open chest, and press into your heels to stand.

4. Take your bell for a march or a walk. Keep your spine upright as if you had two bells.

5. Lower it with control, the same way you picked it up.
