It’s why a lot of functional training is recommended over just doing isolation training.

Farmers walk is a great example, lunges and squats are all great for improving mobility and core strength.

Everyone.

The amount of humans on this planet that would not receive a positive benefit from doing things like farmers walks, lunges or squats is vanishingly small.

I think the climbing in and out of the tractor can't be ignored for mobility as whilst not lunges it does cause you to stretch and I notice it in my legs when having not walked with site boots for a while let alone through mud.
