Are You Rucking with us in July??
Back by Popular Demand: The 2nd Annual Rucking Challenge!
Just in case you aren’t aware, you might say, “What the Ruck???”
What is Rucking?
Simply put, rucking is backpacking: carrying weight while walking.
Humans aren’t the fastest or strongest animals, but we have high levels of endurance and the ability to carry with our hands while walking. Rucking is a modern adaptation of this functional activity: carrying a load over time and distance using a backpack (or weight vest).
What are the Benefits of Rucking?
- It’s Fun!!!
- It’s Great Exercise: Engages multiple muscle groups and burns more calories than walking.
- It’s Adaptable: You can do it almost anywhere.
- No Complicated or Expensive Equipment Needed
- Improves Posture
- Better Than Walking: More core activation and muscle/bone stimulation.
- Better Than Running: Lower impact, making it more sustainable for longer distances.
Why Are We Doing This Challenge?
The purpose of this challenge is to give our CPM community a healthy focus and a push that works with a summer lifestyle versus against it. Walking (especially with weight) is the most underrated form of exercise that also perfectly complements our CPM workouts.
