What exercise can you do in 20 years? This is probably the one you should be doing now. Michael Easter is a professor at the University of Nevada Las Vegas and a world-renowned writer. Michael's distilled down one of the most impressive arguments for incorporating our ancient biological needs into our modern lifestyle. What is rucking?
Rucking mixes endurance and strength in one. The greatest human rucker is the greatest animal rucker in the entire world. And that's because humans are unique in that we evolve to carry weight for distance. This is the thing that I can finally do that gets me outdoors, that makes me feel good, that has helped me lose weight, that has improved my fitness, and that's awesome.
Rucking will burn more calories per mile than running. We've kind of missed the boat on this thing that we're really good at and it has a ton of benefits. Maybe try putting it back in and see what happens. Good to have you here, Michael. Thanks for coming back.
