Rucking Wednesday!

Have you tried or heard of Rucking?
What is Rucking?
In simplest form, Rucking is just walking/hiking with a weighted backpack. No special equipment and super easy to do! How much weight depends on your fitness/strength, generally it's good to start with around 10% of your body weight or just some extra water in your backpack. If you are into backpacking then bring out your full load equivalent and get some weekday training in!
