Waiter walks are a fantastic way to strengthen and stabilize your shoulder girdle and engages your core at the same time .
Waiter walks teach you how to pack your shoulder (driving down into your scapulae) which gives more stability when you are over head with a weight. When you shrug down in this way and squeeze the dumbell or kettlebell with your hand, a signal is sent to your rotator cuff telling it to turn on.
Asymmetrical movements like this (weight on one side and not the other) are also a great way to train core and hip stability.
Tips: Squeeze the weight, ‘pack’ your shoulder’, stand tall and straight…don’t lean! Try to go 30-40 yards on each side.
