The DO by Cherry approach

Train with intent

Build an engine you can use. Carry with posture, move awkward objects with intent and keep the final round as composed as the first.

Week 1: Find your positions. Choose loads you can control and record a starting point.

Free sample · week 1, day 1

Engine & loaded carries

Build a steady aerobic base, then carry weight without losing your posture. Choose a bag and carry load you can own.

This is one example of how a training day is laid out. The full plan builds across six weeks with two more sessions each week.

Move comfortably; prepare for the session.

Farmer’s walk / carry

Sandbag bear-hug carry

Week 1 habits

Set your engine baseline

Food: Eat a familiar meal or snack before one longer session if you normally train hungry; note how your energy holds up.

Movement: Record your week 1 farmer carry distance and interval pace. Finish each interval at a pace you could repeat.
