How do I know if the weight is right for the Farmer March?
Tonal will suggest a weight based on your profile, but focus on maintaining a level pelvis. If you feel your hips tilting or swaying as you step, use the touch screen to lower the weight by 5 pounds.
What if I lose my balance during the Single Leg RDL?
Focus your eyes on a single spot on the floor about three feet in front of you. You can also keep your back toe lightly touching the ground as a kickstand until you feel confident in your balance.
Can I do this workout if I am training for a 5K?
Yes, this is an excellent supplement to running. The unilateral movements like the Split Squat and Single Leg RDL are specifically chosen to improve stride stability and prevent common running injuries.
