That's very interesting, I never heard of it! I wonder if it is worth, when not walking regularly. I mean, I do walk (in Europe it is quite usual in cities, many do not own a car), but I am seldom taking walks on purpose (ouch...always put other priorities on top).

It’s also sometimes referred to as rucking. By walking as part of your daily life, you’re way ahead of most of us in the US who walk for an hour a day!

I'd love to try the weighted vest. But first I'm trying rucking. I think it will be better for me because of hiking. The military uses this method. Have you heard of Michael Easter? He wrote a book called The Comfort Crisis. He also writes a Substack (Two%) He swears by rucking and has a boatload of science to back it up. Our backs were designed to carry weight. Have you tried using a weighted vest or rucking?
