Go Ruck Yourself

How do I unwind after a demanding day?

Easy. I throw on a 50 lb vest and tell the world to go ruck itself.

Some people pop bottles. I pop steel plates into a vest and head straight into the sunset like a weighted cowboy. Some music or audiobooks, no small talk — just my breath, my steps, and a little pain to remind me I’m still moving.

By the time I’m done, my mind’s clear, my stress is gone, and my vest’s still hugging me tighter than most people ever did.
