Rucking burns more calories than walking. It depends on your weight and distance, but, on average, rucking burns about 3x more calories than walking. Rucking helps build strength and endurance. The added weight on your back adds a bit of active resistance with every step you take. The result? Rucking is one of a few activities that helps you build muscle strength and endurance at the same time. Both rucking and walking involve the basic act of putting one foot in front of the other. The difference is rucking transforms walking into a full-body workout. Rucking builds mental fortitude. Walking with added weight on your back is tough.
