Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Rucking is an easy way to fitness
Rucking is a walking exercise with a loaded backpack or rucksack. It comes
from infantry training and operations known as forced marching. It requires
more muscles and endurance than just walking without any extra weight. So, if
you do rucking instead of just walking, you’ll burn more calories, develop
muscles, and boost cardiovascular health. It is an easy, low-impact, all-body
exercise that doesn’t require extra time or any special equipment. All you need
is a backpack, or rucksack, that has wide, padded shoulder straps with a waist
strap. As for the weight, avoid a heavy or sharp object but use something
flexible like sand, which fits steadily near your lower back. Also, don’t put
too much weight from the beginning but start light and add weight as your body and
muscles get accustomed to the weight. Mind your own weight and figure out a proper
weight to start. If you weigh 60 kilograms, 6 kilograms is 10% of your weight.
Imagine how much more calories, energy, and muscles are needed to move something
10% heavier.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about this easy and healthy way
to exercise more.
