Inspired by my son’s Army training, I discovered the benefits of rucking for fitness and mental health—and for staying connected to him.
Here are my favorite workout shoes for a variety of fitness activities including weight training, running, and just kicking it around town!
My fitness routine has helped me build strength, provide stress relief, slow the aging process, and increase my overall wellness.
![🌟 Sunday Ruck 🌟 When my son went through Army Basic Training, I felt so helpless hearing about the weight he carried—both on his back and in his heart. 💔 To feel closer to him and process my own emotions, I started rucking: walking with a weighted pack, step by step, mile by mile.
What began as a solo journey of prayer and tears became my sanctuary—a way to build strength, find mental clarity, and feel connected to my son. 🥾💪
If you’ve ever wondered about the benefits of rucking for fitness and mental health, this is your sign to start. Whether you’re carrying a physical weight or an emotional one, rucking might be the thing that helps you move through it.
