Transform Your Walks with Rucking for a Full-Body Workout

Rucking, a fitness trend involving walking with a weighted backpack, offers a full-body workout with benefits like increased bone density and cardiovascular health. Originating from military training, it can be adapted for civilian use by starting with lighter weights and gradually increasing them. Experts recommend starting with 10 pounds or 10% of body weight and rucking every other day to allow for recovery. While generally safe, those with health issues should consult a doctor before starting. Rucking can be a social activity, often done in groups at a conversational pace.
