#DailyBloggingChallenge (47/50)

What weight should one start #rucking?

Depending on one’s weight and body shape, most can handle 10-20 lbs dry weight which is approximately 5-9 kg in the beginning. It is better to start lighter and increase as needed.

Ruck weight is typically measured in pounds and notated with the # symbol.

In general it is recommended to stay below 33% of one’s bodyweight, since that is the threshold where health damage exponentially increases.

Weight is categorized into two: “wet weight” and “dry weight”.

Dry weight is defined as the actual weight of the object(s) that have no other purpose than being heavy.

Wet weight is defined as the complete backpack weight.

In regards to #rucking the backpack is called a “rucksack” or short “ruck”.

What is #rucking?

Rucking is walking with a weighted backpack.

Technically speaking, there are no backpacks that weigh nothing, thus carrying any backpack is considered as rucking.

In the community one considers acceptable weight as weight that doesn’t have any other purpose than being heavy.

I'm #rucking in the dark tonight, so my wife made me wear my headlamp.

Just completed one of the two #rucking challenges I'm signed up for this month: The Warriors 4 Warrior charity 5k. (I'm not a warrior, but I like to help out.) https://www.truenorthee.com/w4w-5k

Back in Minnesota, and back to that rucking life.

Early morning walk along the Shonai River. 10kms with 15kgs of rice in the backpack. Zone 2 all the way.

Getting it done.

I rucked up a mountain today. I may have been heard muttering, "I don't care how long you've been here. Fuck you, mountain!"

I can't wait to do it again.

I’ve been rucking (walking my dog while carrying a 30lb rucksack on my back) for months to get my 10,000 steps a day. Usually I’m also carrying a keen awareness of how strange this must look to the people in my quiet, suburban neighborhood.

I finally feel a bit less goofy after seeing someone else doing the exact same thing!

*Rucking and Birdwatching: The new Peanut Butter and Chocolate?*

It's Spring, the birds are starting to flock through the Colorado - the "Central Flyway" - and it's time to get outside and invent a new sport. It turns out there is some longevity science behind dual task walking, carrying a heavy load, and bird watching, or as I like to call it: birdruckin.

#Rucking 🎒

@Cityradler Gusseisenplatte im Rucksack (15kg) und Sand im Sandsack (10kg). Ist halt #rucking und soll nur anstrengend sein. Ein Wanderworkout eben. Macht mir Spaß mich so zu fordern.

A morning ruck with 30lbs before work.

Beautiful day for #rucking in the Welsh mountains, the Brecon Beacons. 16km of fantastic scenery!

Repping my alma mater while lugging an arbitrarily heavy backpack on a #hiking trail in a #WashingtonDC park. I rucked 40 pounds for five miles this morning. We got a bit of #snow last night, but there wasn't much left once the sun started shining. Still, it's the first time this winter I've seen a single snowflake. I'll take what I can get.

There's this thing where I'm sitting at my desk, and it becomes clear that carrying the heavy #CameraGear up the #mountain has paid off, and it makes me sad because I know it means that I will carry heavier camera gear up more mountains.
