rucking
Hiking with load
Rucking is walking or hiking while carrying a weighted backpack, typically for fitness or military training.
The practice originated in military conditioning, where soldiers march with loaded rucks (backpacks).
As civilian exercise, rucking offers low-impact cardio with strength benefits: I've replaced my morning jogs with rucking.
The weighted pack increases calorie burn and builds endurance without the joint stress of running.
