Rucking for Weight Loss

There’s a lot of information out there about using various forms of exercise to help you lose weight. As it turns out, rucking happens to be one of the best – and possibly easiest – forms of exercise you can do to burn more calories…fast!

Extra: If you’re interested in accurately-ish calculating calories burned while rucking, there’s also a great article, published several years ago in Outside magazine, about how to use the “Pandolf equation” to accomplish this very thing.
