Discover the benefits of this workout that combines walking with weighted resistance to improve strength, endurance, and calorie burn—all while being gentle on the joints

If you’re looking for a workout that’s easy to start, burns calories, and builds strength—all without needing a gym—it’s time to introduce you to rucking. Essentially, it’s walking with a weighted backpack, and while that might sound simple, it’s incredibly effective. Rucking combines the benefits of cardio and resistance training in one low-impact activity that anyone can do, whether you’re a fitness newbie or a seasoned pro. Here’s everything you need to know about why rucking is worth a try, along with some tips and gear essentials to get started.

What Is Rucking?

Rucking, at its core, involves walking with a weighted backpack or rucksack. Originating from military training, rucking is both simple and effective, making it accessible for anyone who wants to add intensity to their usual walking routine. The weight provides resistance, engaging more muscle groups and adding a cardio component to what might otherwise be a leisurely activity.

Why Rucking Is a Great Workout

1. Full-Body Workout

Rucking works out more than just your legs. The added weight engages your shoulders, back, core, and glutes, turning a simple walk into a full-body exercise. By carrying weight, you’re challenging your muscles to stabilize and support your body, leading to strength gains across multiple muscle groups.

2. Low-Impact Cardio and Strength

Unlike running or high-intensity interval training (HIIT), rucking is low-impact, making it gentle on the joints. This makes it ideal for individuals who want a solid cardio workout without the risk of strain or injury from high-impact exercises. The weight adds intensity without requiring fast movements, providing both a cardio and strength workout that’s accessible and safe.

3. Improves Posture and Core Stability

With proper form, rucking encourages a strong posture and helps engage the core. Carrying weight on your back requires your core muscles to stabilize and balance the load, leading to better posture over time. As you strengthen these muscles, you may also see improvements in balance and body alignment.

4. Efficient Calorie Burner

The added weight in rucking increases calorie expenditure, helping with weight management. Walking with extra weight can burn up to 40-50% more calories compared to regular walking, depending on your pace and load. This makes rucking an effective workout for anyone looking to increase their activity level and burn calories without intense workouts.

Getting Started with Rucking: Tips for Beginners

1. Start Light and Gradually Increase Weight

When starting out, begin with a lighter weight (around 10% of your body weight) and gradually increase it as you get more comfortable. It’s better to go lighter at first to avoid straining your back or joints.

2. Focus on Posture

Good posture is essential when rucking. Keep your shoulders back, engage your core, and avoid slouching under the weight. Maintaining a steady, upright posture reduces the risk of back or shoulder discomfort and ensures you’re getting the most out of your workout.

3. Plan Your Route and Distance

As a beginner, aim for shorter distances (1-2 miles) and increase as your stamina builds. Choose a comfortable walking route, and remember that hills or inclines can add an extra challenge. Over time, you can add more distance, weight, or incline to keep pushing your limits.

4. Wear Comfortable Gear

Invest in a comfortable, well-fitted backpack and supportive walking shoes. Your gear can make or break your rucking experience, so prioritize equipment that provides good weight distribution, reduces strain, and keeps you comfortable throughout your workout.

Rucking Gear Essentials: What You Need to Get Started

Ready to try rucking? Here’s a shopping guide with must-have items to make your rucking experience comfortable and effective.

If you count yourself as a weightlifting girl, you know who Krissy Cela is. Ever since she started Oner Active in 2020, the co-founder and creative director has made quite a name for herself in the women’s weightlifting community. Not only has the London-based entrepreneur amassed 3.3 million Instagram followers of her own, but the mom-to-be has made it her mission to make the weightlifting lifestyle more approachable. “Oner Active was born out of my desire to create a brand that not only empowers women to feel confident in their skin but also offers high-quality, functional activewear that supports every workout and lifestyle – specifically in strength training,” explains the strength training coach (who also founded the Evolve You app).

Oner is not your typical Pilates girl workout line. Yes, the styles are cute and flattering, but these outfits offer more compression and they’re made to get seriously sweaty. Just last month they launched the Oner Active Legendary Collection, which pays tribute to the iconic bodybuilding scene of the 80s. Think: bold shapes and vintage-inspired color palettes, designed to accentuate muscles and showcase strength. Standout pieces include low-coverage bra styles, onesies, and their first-ever shrug

Keep reading for what pieces Krissy wears daily, how she practices self-care, and other wellness must-haves. 

What are your favorite pieces from the brand? 

The Effortless Leggings and Mellow Soft Tops. I designed the Effortless leggings to enhance your curves and also be fit for the gym. Mellow soft is a multi-use fabric you can take wherever you go and wear in, or outside the gym.

What’s your weekly workout schedule?

My weekly workout schedule consists of three strength training sessions from the Evolve You app’s Strong program, alongside two long walks. I’m seven months pregnant, so I’m doing the best I can!

What’s always in your gym bag? 

I use the Oner Mini Go To Gym Bag. It’s so spacious and I can use it to and from the gym and when I need to pack a change of clothing. I always have my AirPods, spare Oner socks, Oner leggings, a water bottle, and lip balm. 

If you had to pick, what is a go-to workout outfit?

⁠Definitely a green or blue set! The Effortless Leggings, Timeless Strappy Bra, and Mellow Soft T-Shirt never fail. 

Tell us about your morning routine.

⁠I wake up at 6 am and brush my teeth! Then put on my comfy lifestyle products from Oner; I’m obsessed with our Lounge pieces. Then my first meeting starts at 7 am, then I’m in meetings until 11 am.

What is your go-to breakfast?

My hubby makes me coffee and colostrum every morning, he is the best! 

What are your top five pantry staples you can’t live without?

⁠My pantry staples are sour sweets, Nutella, Brazil nuts, dried mango, and hot sauce.

What is your favorite self-care practice?

I love love love spending time with my hubby and dogs. It’s my favorite form of self-care.

Are there any other wellness must-have products you can’t live without?

I would say my wellness must-have is my Eight Sleep mattress topper. It’s absolutely incredible! Also a monthly massage for lymphatic drainage and red light therapy, for sure.

Considered America’s fastest-growing sport and its social aspect, pickleball has found a massive audience of players – over 36.5 million, according to data released last year by the Association of Pickleball Professionals. 

The partnership offers viewers a fresh way to experience pickleball, with behind-the-scenes content and exclusive livestream coverage of the 2024 Biofreeze USA Pickleball National Championships. The event airs from November 9-17 at the Arizona Athletic Grounds.

“At QVC, we’re leading the way in changing how retail and entertainment see women over 50, empowered and full of possibility, and celebrating this next chapter in their lives as the age of possibility along with our Q50 ambassadors, like Jennifer Dawson,” said Annette Dunleavy, QVC’s VP of brand Marketing and a Q50 Ambassador. Dawson, a former tennis pro and coach, is the world’s first-ever Triple Crown professional pickleball champion.

“We’re always looking to support women 50+, and pickleball is quickly becoming one of the most played sports among this age group,” Dunleavy continued.

QVC has also launched a new page featuring a variety of pickleball gear, including activewear.

“Having our 2024 USA Pickleball Biofreeze National Championships streamed on the QVC+ and HSN+ streaming experience is an opportunity to showcase the incredible talent of our members and bring the excitement of pickleball to the global stage,” USA Pickleball CEO Mike Nealy said. 

Pickleball Takes Over

While luxury athletic country club operator Life Time has invested heavily in pickleball (and recently filed a patent to develop the perfect ball) other brands have emerged to satisfy the demand for courts–perhaps having taken note of a 2023 pickleball infrastructure report that revealed interest in the sport outpaces the amount of courts available.

Since then, indoor pickleball franchises have gained steam. The Picklr, one indoor-based pickleball franchise backed by Drew Brees, announced a multi-year partnership with Wingfield last month. The collaboration brings advanced, AI-powered video and data tracking systems to all its locations so players can take their game to the next level.

Even high-value, low-price gym operator Crunch Fitness has found a way to dabble in the pickleball craze. Over the summer, Crunch Fitness and racket sports booking platform Break the Love piloted a pickleball-focused group fitness class.

New York City is also getting a new pickleball facility this month. PKLYN is hosting the grand opening of its new state-of-the-art pickleball center and gathering space in Brooklyn on Oct. 6, serving as a community hub with five courts, multiple lounges, event spaces, and food. Behind the project is founder and managing partner David Friedman, who forged a local community of pickleball players during the pandemic. PKLYN offers a rotating programming schedule, leagues for all levels, tournaments, open play nights, clinics, and private lessons.

For those with full-time employment, you already know that health benefits are just one of the perks. In case you didn’t know, in addition to your regular insurance coverage, oftentimes your employer will give you the option to open a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or a Health Savings Account (HSA). Both are types of pre-tax accounts you can use to pay for a wide variety of healthcare-related expenses, and the list is longer than you might think. 

Pretty much anything that helps to treat, prevent, or alleviate a mental or physical illness or disability is fair game. Think over-the-counter meds for flu and cold, glasses and contacts, prenatal supplements, first aid supplies, and new age wellness gear like LED light therapy and massage guns. Even some of your favorite beauty products from Sephora qualify. 

While you can pretty much purchase the same type of items with both, these accounts vary slightly in structure, eligibility, and rollover rules. It’s important to know how it works not just for yourself, but also for your clients and members if you are a fitness professional because there are many eligible products that can benefit wellness programming.

The difference between HSA and FSA plans

To qualify for an HSA you must have a high-deductible health plan, while an FSA is like a line of credit. An HSA is owned by you (and you can take it with you if you change jobs), while an FSA is owned by an employer and you’ll lose it if you leave. HSAs roll over from year to year with no expiration and with FSAs you’ll lose any funds you don’t spend by the end of your plan year unless the plan has a grace period or carryover feature.

Deciding which one is best for you is a personal decision, but once you have a plan in place you’ll be set up to use your FSA or HSA card online or in-store. (Just be sure to check with your HRA or FSA administrator to confirm the eligibility of an expense with your plan)

So what are the best wellness products you can and should purchase with your HSA or FSA in 2024, you ask? Keep on reading. 

Bestqool Red Light Therapy Mat, $379

It’s no secret that red light therapy has a long list of overall health benefits, including muscle recovery, increased energy, pain relief and skin health. While the technology comes in a variety of formats (like face masks, wands, helmets, belts and more) this large mat takes the cake. It’s comparable to the size of a yoga mat, so if you lay on it, it will cover every inch of your skin. Pro tip: it can’t penetrate clothing so make sure you do it in the buff for maximum results. 

TheraFlow Foot Massager for Plantar Fasciitis Relief Foot Massager, $16.99 (Orig. $29.99)

Did you know that one in 10 people will experience plantar fasciitis in their lifetime? The painful condition occurs when the plantar fascia (the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot) becomes inflamed. One of the best ways to alleviate it: is with a good foot massage. Trust, this under $20 wooden contraption (which is currently 40% off) has over 30k glowing reviews. Even if you don’t have chronic pain and just want a good massage, you won’t be disappointed. 

Perelel Health 1st Trimester Prenatal Pack, $49.50/month (Orig. $58.24/month)

Prenatal vitamins are one item that surprisingly makes this list and Perelel’s science-backed packs are top-rated. The brand breaks down its prenatal options into three stage-specific categories: first, second and third trimester. Not only are they formulated by a team of OB/GYNs, but they’re also made with DHA + EPA, folate, patented iron, and other blends to help keep mom and baby in optimal health. 

RENPHO Eyeris 1 FSA/HSA Eligible Eye Massager, $69.99 (Orig. $98.19)

If this is your first time hearing of a mechanical eye massager, you’re not alone. This portable device (that looks more like a VR mask) has nearly 25k reviews on Amazon. This device comes with a handful of features including, heat, Bluetooth capabilities and is foldable so you can toss it in your carry-on bag for travel. Whether you’re spending hours staring at a computer screen, or working the night shift at the hospital, strained eyes will love this device. 

TheraGun Mini Massage Gun, $189 (Orig. $199)

Everyone who tries Theragun loves it, especially those who work out and need serious recovery. You can’t go wrong with any of the models, but the mini is a good place to start. It’s compact and priced to sell at under $200. This deep-tissue massage gun happens to be 20% smaller and 30% lighter than the OG, making it easy to throw in your gym bag for immediate relief. Use the on-the-go device to hit any area that’s sore, from your neck, back, legs, hands, shoulders, and feet.

Metamucil 4 in 1 Daily Fiber Supplement Powder, $31.33 (Orig. $32.98)

Most Americans don’t get enough fiber in their daily diet. The American Heart Association recommends 25–30 grams of fiber per day. Getting enough fiber helps support healthy blood sugar levels, promotes heart health, and helps control appetite. If you or someone you know aren’t quite hitting the mark, invest in this best-selling supplement with over 30k reviews on Amazon. Metamucil’s blend is sugar-free and deliciously orange-flavored, so all you have to do is mix it with a glass of water. 

Supergoop Glow Screen SPF 40 Sunscreen with Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide, $38

Supergoop is famous for its Glow Screen, but it doesn’t come cheap at $38 a tube. Luckily it’s covered under FSA/HSA plans (just make sure to save your receipt!). The silky lotion formula is packed with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 to help boost moisture in the skin, sea lavender to help provide powerful antioxidant protection, and cocoa peptides to help protect the skin from blue-light damage. 

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DRx SpectraLite™ FaceWare Pro, $455

Red light therapy masks are so good for helping to stimulate collagen production, improve skin tone and texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This just-under $500 one from Dr. Dennis Gross is arguably the most popular on the market. The FDA-cleared LED device is super simple to use. It comes with three settings: red, blue, or red and blue, and only takes a few 3-minute sessions each week to start seeing results. 

Skinfix KP+ Psoriasis Smoothing Treatment Body Lotion, $50

Those who struggle with Keratosis pilaris (KP) and Psoriasis know how frustrating the different skin conditions can be. And while KP and psoriasis are not the same, it is possible to have both at the same time. Enter this smoothing body treatment that addresses both. It’s clinically shown to visibly smooth KP bumps while also reducing the look of flaking, scaling, and redness. The key ingredients are the line’s patent-pending complex with barrier lipids and peptides mixed with three types of exfoliating acids. 

Warby Parker Women’s Nadia Frames, starting at $95

Another surprising expense that’s covered under your FSA/HSAs? Contact lens and everyday eyewear. Thankfully Warby Parker is in on the deal. Simply scope out the brand’s site and find a pair of frames you like best (they conveniently have virtual try-ons and free at-home try-ons). The site makes it super easy to order, just have your prescription handy. All of their frames are chic, but you can’t go wrong with the best-selling Nadia frames.
