Push-ups and the bench press torch your pectorals, core and shoulder muscles, but the farmer's walk is one of my favorite full-body exercises for hitting these body parts and more.

The farmer's walk has traditionally been viewed as a shoulder exercise, but the move offers far more for your body. All you need to do is grip a trap bar or two heavy weights like the best adjustable dumbbells or kettlebells, and go for a walk. If you’ve ever carried your groceries home, then you're already familiar with that shoulder burn.
