Investing in a Proper Rucksack and Weights for Rucking

Put some weight in a backpack.

Put on the backpack.

Walk.

That’s rucking in a nutshell.

While rucking is simple, it’s also one of the most underrated kinds of cardio you can do:

• It burns a boatload of calories
  
• It boosts your cardiovascular fitness
  
• It’s easy to recover from
  
• It’s versatile (you can do it anywhere)
  
• And, it’s social—you can easily do it with a group
  

What’s more, it’s also very easy to progressively overload your workouts. That is, you can continually make your rucks a little bit harder, which isn’t easy with walking.

In other words, rucking is one of the best kinds of cardio for people who “don’t like” cardio.
