If you're a fan of weight training but have been struggling to get to the gym regularly, you might be feeling a little low on fitness motivation. Don't worry - we're all for workouts that fit into your daily lifestyle here at Marie Claire UK and don't require hour-round gym trips. Which is why, when we saw rucking - the latest TikTok workout trend - doing the rounds, we wanted to hear more.

Never heard of it and unsure what it means? If you're not familiar with military terms, rucking describes a walk where you add weight (think a rucksack or weighted vest).
