59yr women, now up to 14kg weight in my vest , LOVE IT ❤ makes me feel way better everytime and make sure I maintain posture with focus on core
I work a desk job with a stand up desk and will throw on a ruck last 2 hours of the day. It's a simple o'l backpack and a sandbag I duck taped so it wouldn't leak. I use pool noodles at the bottom and mid section of the bag for comfort. It's something I look forward to when I go to work, makes the last couple of hours fly by. Hope you all enjoy your day, thanks for coming to my TED talk
I did that training for the goruck HCL. I actually had an "on feet" job then and I wore my ruck at work for like 6 hours a day. People made fun of me at the office but my work production didn't go down and I completed the event.
@@drewmorrison Congrats on finishing the event! What a W move, 6 hrs a day is solid. Folks used to make fun, then i'd ask them to wear Big Sandy (Named the ol' back pack) and it ended the talking since. Have a great one
I am 67 and I ruck almost every day with 38 lbs up and down hills and it keeps me in great shape. I love the way it makes me feel. It’s great to be ready to go on a long hike anytime I get opportunity. 😅
I’m half your age and I can’t do that, and I’m in pretty good shape. Kudos 💪
I'm 73 it's my go to in nature keeps me sane
Rucking is my go-to favorite! Outside, up and down hills, in the woods, with my dogs and the sounds of nature:)
I use a mystery ranch 2dap and stuff a weighted blanket in there with a small neoprene dumbbell, or 2 rolled up in it. Including the pack, it's 30lbs. At 150lbs, a two mile ruck takes 30 minutes.
It's easier to drop a rucksacks than a weighted vest. This might be an issue if someone is going to attack you. Perhaps I'm overthinking !
I run two miles each day with 40 pounds and it’s been a game changer at 60. switched to low profile (Xero) sneakers and I run a 13 min miles. Now I can’t live without it. My DEXA scan has shown I’ve lost 3% body fat in 3 months
I rucked irresponsibly and triggered a significant lower back episode. Months later I’ve recovered. I think I’m ready to try again but with half the weight. I’m happy to hear some discussion of back health here. I’d like to see even more discussion of how we should approach rucking if we are managing a chronic back injury. What would Stuart say. ;-)
I agree with the ruck vs. weight vest. I sold my V-Force and got the Goruck. Made a huge difference. Went out for 3 miles tonight with 50#. Only issue is adding 2 10# plates to the existing 30# drops a portion of the load too low. Should have gotten the double pocket ruck.
Sounds like light backpacking or mountaineering. Always found it a good workout trekking through the Sierres and Cascades.
Rucking is just backpacking without the camping part. Turns out we were all rucking experts back in the day when we carried heavy packs all over the Sierra!
I built my own ruck pack out of a military surplus frame with a bumper weight all to gather spent $50.00 I ruck 3 times a day love it ..put in the work
You can get a decent ruck by walking to the grocery store with an empty backpack. Stuff it with canned goods and heavy liquids,etc., and take the long way home! Easy peasy!
I do 15 lb ruck 3 miles a day. I use my backpack.❤
Awesome! Do you find that's a good physical stress level to maintain consistently or do you get fatigued sometimes and have to dial it back?
Bro I do the same do some hills and I live on the 4 th floor that's my final push Tray running up those stairs
Look up "rukken" in Dutch. Puts "great source of exercise" and "I'm in love with" and "my wife has a rukker" in a totally different light 😂😂😂
Haha, nu
kan ik geen enkel filmpje meer kijken. ` 30 days of rukken`, en ` how much should you ruk in a month`
This is a great activity. Started last summer and added trekking poles to the mix to help target the upper body.
I didn't know Rucking was a thing. looks interesting. thanks
I'm 55 ,5 tf 107lb small frame female. I walk 5 miles with a 20-lb weighted vest 5 days a week. I love it ,not much in the summer because I'm in FL. I love it.I will say give it a try but start with a few lbs and increase gradually.
I ruck light loads (5-10kg, 11-22lbs) but I do it every day, and for about 7km, 4miles. If I go for a casual walk without a load it's like I'm more than those loads lighter. Actually, it feels a little unnatural. Main benefit for me is lack of lower back pain and enhanced hill climb ability. You get fit, you come to like hills.
Get a back pack add some coats and towels with a dumb bell and go for it.
Wouldn't a back pack be uneven with the weights?
I could really use a specialized rucking app that has weight input
I got greedy. M 50yr. I wen't from 5 to 10 kg pretty fast. In two months. Then I upgraded from my dumbbells to 16kg kettlebell. I started do too long walks (two hours) and messed my hip flexors. They took over a month to heal. Just a friendly warning :) Other than I really like it. It is good for core and gets my heart rate up without jogging. Which I'm no fan of.
How does this vary from a Farmer walk?
Should i ruck while already overweight...6ft male..235lbs
doesn't rucking put lots of added strain on your knees/ankles? I love the idea of it but worried about injury.
If you're looking to avoid strain on knees and ankles, lay around on the couch all day. The progression should be gradual, as discussed in this episode - and strong legs/ankles are always a benefit. "Strength is never a weakness"
@@1jeds my legs are already shredded from walking briskly 5 mi a day, including hills.
If you use a weightvest and force yourself into that good posture we're all looking for you definitely use more of that upper back and shoulder muscles instead of a rucksack which does that for you.
I use both by te way and find it more comfortable with a rucksack, maybe for that reason.😁😎
Every Tuesday is Grocery day (5ml/8k).

How stupid
I've fallen i love with rucking ever since I found out about from Peter and @ThomasDeLauer.
