In yesterday’s post, I talked about how I use kettlebell rucks to get my cardio in. Today, I wanted to share a go-to rucking workout that’s perfect to do on your “off” days or in between kettlebell workouts.

Rucking is a great addition to your kettlebell routine and is an excellent way to get your cardiovascular exercise in. The recommended amount of cardiovascular exercise per week is 150+ minutes, so I recommend a combination of kettlebell work and routines like the one I’m sharing with you today.

This workout is best attempted after you can comfortably maintain a 2-4 mile pace with 10%-20% of your bodyweight on your back. If you’re ready to kick up the intensity a notch, give this workout a try!

INTERVAL RUCKING

— This workout consists of 10 minutes of hard rucking followed by 10 minutes of easy rucking.
— On the “easy” intervals, you should cruise at about 20-min mile pace
— On the “hard” intervals, you should push the pace and see if you can keep to a 15-min mile or quicker
— You can progress by adding weight and/or time and/or longer hard intervals and/or shorter easy intervals
— Pick only one method to increase difficulty each time you progress!

Give this workout a try, and if you need a backpack, check the one linked below out, I recommend it:
