Show Notes
In this episode, we explore the idea of rucking for hikers (e.g loaded-pack walking). And we give a bit of a nuanced take on this subject (to try and balance out a lot of the exaggeration that is seen online with this subject).
Inside, we answer the questions:
- Is rucking an effective way to build muscle strength?
- Is rucking useful for improving or maintaining bone density?
- Can rucking help with weight loss?
- Is rucking beneficial for the immune system?
- Can rucking help with longevity?
