Man rucking changed my life. I initially got bored of lifting and quickly slipped to a sedentary lifestyle due to working in finance. Once I found rucking I got moving again, now I’m 30lbs down and rucking 4 times a week and lifting again 3 times a week.

@Locke19901 Жыл бұрын

Awesome. I'm in similar boat, lift 3x ruck 2x hiit 1x. Sitting in a chair ten plus hours a day is a killer need to combat that every way you can.

Similar - I started because I got diagnosed with fatty liver. Had lots of pain etc. Changed things around after six months - rucking at least four times a week and weights alongside. Changed my diet drastically. No pain. Well, except trap pain as I increase the weight (and I need to get a better rucksack)!!!

38 and I ruck atleast 1 time per week with 30 lbs up hills for 6 miles and let me tell you, this is good for the body and mind, I go way up in the hills and out in nature. Got some bad news recently and the only thing I could think of to ease my mind was to throw my backpack on and go climb, I was up in the hills tearing up (crying) but let me tell you once I got those tears out and that mental stress out the way, I felt like a huge weight was lifted off my chest! By the time I trod 3 miles back home. The emotions were balanced out, I felt achieved, I felt stronger, and it was overall excellent therapy

I’ve regularly been carrying 75lbs dry this year, but for only 2 mile clips. I’ve since started training at the 35lb standard weight dry in hopes that I can meet the 3 hr cutoff at 12 miles.

I worked as a sampler, assistant to a geologist, doing exploration for a mining company. We typically scaled 20 miles a day. I carried a sack with a Geiger counter, a rock pick, sample sacks ( 50's uranium) and lunch, a can of fruit cocktail and another can of Vienna sausage. We each carried a two quart canteen. I remember so many days, being; hot, tired, hungry, thirsty and ten mile back to camp. Each day I swore if I ever got back to camp I would call the boss and quit. A pan full of hobo stew, a water bag, and a cup of tea with a cigar at sunset and the next day we were back at it again, day after day, after. Typically worked 10 on and 4 off. I never get tired of the rain, living on the Oregon Coast and at 87 I have my riding mower and wood splitter to stay in shape. Live is good! Iguana

Started rucking over a month ago. Started at 15lbs going anywhere from 4-6 miles, at least a couple times a week, in addition to my functional strength and functional fitness training, 6-7 days a week (3 months now after over 5 years off). I also train and workout regularly wearing minimalist zero-drop barefoot shoes. I've been training, running, and hiking in these shoes (I have a couple different pairs, one for pavement and another for hiking and rough terrain) and my feet and ankles have definitely gotten much, much stronger and more resilient. Right now, I'm up to 40-50lb ruck for the same 4-6 mile distance. Working my way up to 60-70lb rucks. Thank you for your service and thank you for the great commentary and tips. Keep on rockin'! 🤘

All these points are brilliant but the spiritual fitness really struck a cord with me. My father was recently murdered and going to the gym and lifting weights actually stressed me even more. I started hill walking and rucking when ever I was feeling stressed and down and it helped me so much, would give me time with no distractions to really think on issues that were bothering me, every time I arrived home after a Ruck I really would feel more at peace and calm. Great video, thank you

You hit the nail on the head. Like other forms of exercise, rucking is an awesome way to decompress and get out of your head for a bit. You touched on it in the video, you might be strapped for time and long distances aren't feasible on certain days, but take advantage of your everyday routine and windows of opportunity to strap on your rucksack and beat feet. My window is my daily walk with my dogs, it's only about a 40 min walk, but still enough to get the heart rate up and build strength.

I have done this for years, I call it backpacking. I’ve explored wildernesses, gotten lost, walked across entire states (Arizona, California). Your video helped confirm what I always believed. There is no lifestyle that can build conditioning like walking all day long with 50 pounds on your back. Up and down mountains, over and under fallen trees. The sleep quality and rejuvenation power is unmatched. However I couldn’t just walk around with a bunch of weight, like in a park or a treadmill. I need to explore new places, like they did in Star Trek!

The mental health benefits and the fact that anyone can do ruckmarching really can't be overstated. During the pandemic, I got in the worst shape I've ever been in in my life, to the point that I couldn't even run anymore; my belly had gotten big enough that running more than a block or two caused severe back pain from my gut pulling on it. Then I started looking into ruck marching, and as a test to see if my body could handle it, I just threw a dumbbell into a small hiking day pack and was blown away at how good it felt. So I bought an old ALICE pack and some plates and was off to the races! Coming from a place where I was worried I couldn't do any real cardio because of my pandemic weight gain, it was amazing to be able to do an intense workout like that without destroying my back. Now I'm 15 pounds down an can run again, but I still like to keep the ruck marching up. It's a great way to enjoy the outdoors and build endurance.

I’m just starting Bushcrafting and I’m partly disabled from a work accident that caused lots of injuries and walking long distance tends to hurt so I had intentions of walking till just before severe pain and set up for the night, then repeating and repeating. You have inspired me to putting on my very old bag and starting to ruck to help elevate some pain and actually build muscle so I can walk further and let my love the outdoors as much as I did before the accident. Anyways I’m rambling lol thanks for the motivation

I lift weights about 5-6 times a week and walk 2-3 times per week but I definitely need to get starting in rucking! My cardio is horrible and my legs and lower back are my weakest body parts.

I started rucking with my dog about a year ago. Prior to this the last time I did a ruck march was 1995 in Bosnia during Operation Joint Endeavor. I found this channel about 3 weeks ago and enjoy the no nonsense content.

Two rucking vids into your channel man, and I've gotta say I'm sold! I love backpacking and camping and am always wanting an excuse to get outside. I'm looking up some good places right now around my city to go walk 12 miles!

I find your channel very inspiring, have several trail runs this summer and fall. And I’m trying everything I can think to get ready for them including rucking . So keep the videos coming. We weren’t met to live binge watching Netflix and going to bed at 2am , then repeat.

I never thought of walking pace rucking as low-impact cardio exercise. I'm going to start incorporating into my cardio regime on non-lifting days.

It’s a great thing for lifters to do to burn a little extra fat but maintain muscle mass.

Absolutely rucking counts as Cardio!!! If your just starting out and want to get a little better at it… Try some intervals with the ruck. 1:00 trot followed by 2:00 walk, or go for some distances. Your endurance with a ruck will improve easily.

Thanks for the video .. rucking really helps me set my mind straight and everything should do something hard often. I’ve lost 120 lbs in the past year and this Utah winter we’ve been having has kicked my ass and I’ve gained 20lbs back. The weather is starting to get warm and my goal is to get down to 220 lbs .. I was 400lbs in 2021😮 . Thank you

I typically run with a 20# weight vest, but I haven’t really gone rucking since combat school (outside of carrying one of my boys on my back). These rucking videos have me motivated to get back into it!
