“Michael Easter’s genius is that he puts data around the edges of what we intuitively believe. His work has inspired many to change their lives for the better.”—Dr. Peter Attia, author of Outlive

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Comfort Crisis comes the definitive guide to the fast-growing sport of rucking—or walking with weight—as a daily practice that can change body and mind for the better with every step.

In recent years, walking with weight, also known as rucking, has exploded in popularity due to its multifaceted benefits including improved fitness, strength, and mental well-being. It’s a risk-free, full-body workout that improves metabolic health and helps prevent chronic diseases and depression. Now, bestselling author Michael Easter, the avid rucker the New York Times credits with ushering in the trend, is sharing everything you need to know in the ultimate book on weighted walking.

With this practical guide, you will learn:

How to start your own weighted walking routine by choosing the right weight and loading your pack correctly Advice for warming up, fueling, and preventing injury For experienced ruckers, guidelines for increasing intensity and inspiration to set bigger goals A breakdown of all the amazing health benefits, including why walking with weight burns more fat per mile than jogging Advice for selecting the right gear, including how to decide between a weighted vest or backpack Week-by-week training plans for every type of goal and skill level

Along the way, Easter traces the history of walking with weight—from ancient hunter gatherers to the world’s greatest militaries – and shows how it has evolved into the popular trend it is today. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned rucker, Walk with Weight offers valuable advice at any level. With this book, you’ll get more from every step—with the easiest and most effective way to boost your strength inside and out.
