Rucking is a form of cardiovascular exercise in which you walk or hike with a weighted backpack. It has a number of health benefits.
Rucking can help you build strength, endurance, and general fitness. It can help you build strength in your back and legs, especially your glutes and hamstrings. Walking with weight also helps you burn more calories than regular walking. Plus, rucking produces less impact on the joints of the lower body - the knees, hips, ankles and feet - compared to running.
Start with a light weight a couple of days a week and gradually work your way up to higher weights and longer and faster walks.
