I decided to try and do a comparison between my typical weight training workout versus a ruck workout of about the same time. Here's the comparison: Weight Training - 1hr, 6min - 502 active calories, 635 total calories, 119bpm average heart rate Ruck - 1hr, 6min - 454

I've been hiking for many years and have been backpacking many times as well but I've never combined them into a daily activity ala Rucking. So since I'm a beginner and didn't want to go all in until I tried things out,
