I love walking, hiking, and riding a bike. But running? No thanks. Even so, I&#8217;m willing to concede that running is probably the cardio workout with the lowest barrier to entry. Aside from a new pair of shoes every year or two, you don&#8217;t need anything. Just step outside the door and torture yourself, er, I mean, run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Fortunately for me, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-goruck-backpack\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">I found rucking<\/a>, aka the military term for walking around with a weighted backpack.

Essentially, no matter your movement speed, the extra weight in your pack elevates your physical output to a higher cardio plane. But if you&#8217;ve ever donned a pack to go hiking, you may have learned the hard way that many backpacks aren&#8217;t up to the task of carrying heavy weights. Thin shoulder straps become cheese cutters on your shoulders, fabric sags, and items in your bag dig into your back and tailbone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">That&#8217;s when my editor said, \u201cOh, I have a GoRuck GR1\u2014rucking is what it&#8217;s <em>made<\/em> to do.\u201d After a bit of personal research, I soon had my own GR1. Made from ultra-durable and water-resistant 1000D Cordura, it&#8217;ll wear the T-shirt right off your back before anything happens to the pack. And the zipper pulls\u2014perhaps the most overlooked feature of GoRuck packs\u2014are fantastic.
