I bought my first kettlebell after only having access to the bells at the gym. I've enjoyed being able to take it to a nearby park to work on some movements outside of my S&S practice. I have also enjoyed throwing the bell in my backpack, putting on a podcast and going for a walk around the neighborhood for some good cardio on days my hands could use a rest.
A few questions for everyone about rucking:
A few questions for everyone about rucking:
- My kettlebell is 20kg which is roughly 30% of my body weight. Would I see a major benefit of increasing the weight being carried?
- I simply put the kettlebell in my backpack and go. Anything I should be concerned about regarding potential injury with this set up? I'm able to keep fairly straight while walking, not at all hunched over in order to counterbalance the weight on my back.
- Any tips on carrying weight on your back or fun exercises I should try? Thinking standing on one leg would be a great challenge.
