Hi there,

Rucking is basically walking with weight, usually a bag with stuff in it to add weight. I walk a lot to work and home, minimum 2+km every weekday. I'm thinking to improve my fitness by adding more resistance to my usual walk, start from 5kg upward to 20kg or more. I do go to gym sometime, but don't have that much time and lazy sometime. So if I can walk and exercise at the same time, it's great!

Anyone doing this already? Where to get the right backpack or even weight plate for it, at least in Klang Valley?

Anyone tried the GORUCK backpack with their weight plate below?

It's better than nothing I guess.

Depends on your goal.

This is very low intensity cardio especially if you're a dude.

The military dudes who ruck march thru the jungle and mountains with it. It's a lot more intense than taking the lrt.

It's alright to burn a bit more calories. But 10 minutes of high intensity training will give you much more.
