This was a great educational video! I enage in rucking and didn't know it was called that. The way I do it is for practicle purposes - work. Whenever my backpack is stuffed to the point i look like a turtle, I remind myself that it is helping stay strong. I do think it is one of the older forms of functional fitness.

It's super practical! What do you do for work?
