Weighted Ruck Sack hiking technique to improve efficiency and speed while reducing impact and stress on the joints. Hiking with a weighted ruck sack is an excellent exercise for conditioning and losing weight. It is also compulsory in a lot of military training. Because of the added weight, improper technique can increase the chance of strain or other injuries. Improper technique will also reduce the speed and efficiency needed for timed marches. In this video I apply the Walking Code core movement techniques to ruck sacking to help you understand the various technique options and their advantages and disadvantages. I will cover posture and foot placement. I will discuss how to increase speed while keeping proper posture and reduced impact. I will cover flat ground as well as up and downhill techniques.
