Written by I started rucking. Which is basically walking with a weighted backpack. I can definitely feel the difference in my heart rate. I didn’t think this would be that hard but it can be quite challenging. I use between 10-20lbs, depending on the day, and the weather. I try not to push too much and give myself some lighter days for recovery. I usually walk a mile loop, stopping at the dog park to get some hills in. I try to incorporate butt kicker, high knees, grape vines, step ups, calf raises and hills at the dog park. I am trying to work on strengthening my legs and my knee. I have been doing this for at least a week now. I did notice a difference the other day when I went running. I think my legs are getting stronger. My breathing was better on my run. I started looking up rucking on YouTube. I didnt realize its actually a big thing. Its not just great for legs, but works abs, shoulders and back muscles as well, because you have to maintain your posture and support the weight in the bag.

That sounds like a great workout. It will definitely strengthen your knee as well as the rest of your body. Working out is great for your health as well as a stress reliever.
