Farmers walks instead of cardio

But is that working your cardio? I consider cardio moving at a fast pace, not 2 mph.

My arse gonna start with some 10's at 15% incline

I've added farmers walks into my frequency method pullups and pushups. Every hour for 8 hours, after the pullups and pushups, I grab 50lb dumbbells and walk 160 feet. Which adds up to almost a quarter mile a day of farmers walks.

I use this to murder my traps and have had great success in building them.

Shoulders up
Shoulders back
Carry as heavy as I can for as long as I can

I personally don’t understand why anyone does cardio, unless it’s just for heart and lung health. You can manage your body fat through your diet alone. If you build enough muscle with weights, you’ll have a way higher maintenance calorie range.

If you want to kick up your Carry's a notch or two. Walk on a 2x4 for part of the way.

ETA. To be more clear. Walk while balancing on a 2x4 on part of the walk.
