If you're looking for a great form of cardio that's easy on your body, look no further than rucking!

This low-impact workout is perfect for people aged 40 and up, and comes with a host of benefits. Not only does it burn almost as many calories as running, but it also trains your heart and can be done anywhere. Plus, it's an effective way to burn fat and build muscle at the same time.

To get started, all you need is a weight on your back (anywhere from 10-30 pounds is ideal) and you're good to go! 

Here's a more specific Ruck Interval workout you can try: 

#

Ruck Interval Workout

1 - Plan out your "high" and "low" intervals for your workout. 

2 - During the "high" intervals, walk as fast as you can without running (good target = about 15 mins per mile pace). 

3 - During the "low" intervals, you'll march at a quick but comfortable speed (good target = about 20 mins per mile pace). 

Start with a 1/2 and 1/2 split – 2-3 minutes "high" alternated with 2-3 minutes "low", alternated for the full 30-60 minutes.

If you're looking to get into rucking, one of the great things is that you don't need any expensive equipment. All you need is a backpack that can hold up - no need to spend a lot of money.

I personally use the EVATEC Tactical Backpack, which is great quality. And right now, it's FREE - you just have to pay for shipping. So if you're looking to get started with rucking, go ahead and check it out at this link:
