Mark's Daily Apple Wednesday, June 8, 2022 11:00 AM How and Why To Start Rucking       I've often said that walking is the human condition, but I'd like to amend that to be more accurate: loaded walking—or rucking—is the human condition. Normal unloaded walking is an important part of being an active, able human and lays the ideal foundation for a healthy fitness level. However, it can and should be elevated with occasional (or regular) walking while bearing weight. For example, when hunting-gathering hominids walked the 12 miles back from a successful hunt, they carried the 40-pound haunch of the antelope on their shoulders—or the woven basket full of tubers, fruits, and honeycomb. When Roman legionnaires marched 18.5 miles in a day they also carried a pack weighing 45 pounds. Then they proceeded to build a defensive fort for two hours. When kids walked to school (before the ubiquity of miles-long SUV-laden drop off lines), they wore bags full of books. Hell, the entire premise of obligate bipedalism is that it lets you walk while carrying things--tools, building materials, shelter materials, weapons, food, meat, foraged plants, and roots. These are all essential objects to be carried by bipedal humans, all increasing the pull of gravity that you must then resist. Why You Should Ruck Today we load our food into car trunks and drive it home—or, worse, we have it delivered to our doorstep. We drop our kids off at school and pick them up. We drive to manicured trailheads, walk for miles, and have our air-conditioned car waiting to take us back home with a smoothie stop along the way. We park at campsites and complain about the 100-yard walk in. Now, these aren't "bad," but they are novel environments to the human genome that make us weaker and more vulnerable to stressors in general. As with everything, if we want to get better, stronger, and healthier despite modern comforts, we have to impose arbitrary and artificial boundaries on ourselves. One great way to do that and replicate the ancestral loaded walking environment, is to go rucking. Rucking is wearing a weighted backpack while going for walks and hikes. That's it. And when you ruck, you'll start seeing some real benefits. Rucking builds grit. It's a total body workout that makes you stronger, fitter, faster, and everything else, but lots of exercises do that. Heck, almost all of them do. Rucking builds that intangible quality I can only describe as grit or toughness. Because rucking is hard. Rucking makes you stronger. You are moving under added weight—the oldest recipe in the book for getting stronger. A rucking workout is a great way to enhance cardio without increasing speed. It's sort of a low/high intensity workout. It's high intensity because you're bearing more weight. It's low intensity because you're moving at walking pace. Particularly uphill/downhill rucking is a fantastic cardio workout and, if you do it carefully, easier on the joints than you might think. How to Ruck If you stopped reading right now and just went out wearing a heavy backpack on walks and hikes, … Continue reading "How and Why To Start Rucking" The post How and Why To Start Rucking appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple.
