First off just to be clear, rucking is simply walking with weight on your back. It's a super simple, accessible form of movement with added resistance that's also very low-impact with numerous health benefits! Bonus? If you're a human who has gone to school or travelled...you've probably already done it! 🤣

Rucking for Beginners:

  • 🎒Weight: try a load ~5–10 % of your bodyweight
  • 🐌 Pace:start slow+steady (5 min, 15-20 min pace)
  • Form Cues: think “tall spine, core canister aligned, level shoulders”

Benefits:

  • ❤️‍🔥 Boosts heart rate, VO2+ calorie burn
  • 💪 Builds leg, core & postural strength
  • 🔄 Sustainable cardio conditioning you can actually fit in during a busy work week

Bottom-Line: You get a Killer 1-2 Punch:

Best of all it requires no extra time—just step, ruck & thrive. Save this for your next break! 👊
