Rucking

Rucking is walking with weight on your back. That’s it.

It burns more calories than walking, causes less joint damage than running, and requires zero skill acquisition. You put weight in a pack and you walk. The protocol here covers how much weight, how far, how often, and how to progress without getting hurt.

If running has been wrecking your knees or spiking your appetite, rucking fixes both problems. Start with Why I Stopped Running and Started Rucking.
