What do you call it when you carry weight in a backpack, walk around, and return home... all without any real destination? It’s called rucking, and it’s a surprisingly effective, military-inspired fitness practice that’s catching on with everyone from elite athletes to everyday adventurers.
In this episode, we unpack:
- The history and basics of rucking (yes, Romans did it too!)
- Why it builds strength, cardio capacity, and bone density
- The mental health boost of walking with purpose and a little extra load
- What to watch out for — and how to avoid injuries
- What gear you really need to get started
- How to fit rucking into your weekly fitness routine
Whether you’re walking the dog or training like a tactical pro, rucking is a simple, scalable, and joint-friendly way to level up your health.
