Life is busy, really busy, and finding time to exercise can be tricky. That’s why, as a fitness writer, I like providing time-savvy alternatives to the gym.
Rucking (that is, walking with a weighted backpack) is one of my favourite hacks for this. It upgrades a regular stroll into a workout without any extra time commitment, making it easier to squeeze into a hectic schedule – something I found especially handy when I tried walking 10,000 steps a day with a weighted backpack for a week. You can even use the bag for strength training exercises as part of a rucking workout for bonus efficiency points.
