Three rules for adding weight to your backpack that will boost the benefits of exercise

But if you’re looking to give your daily walks a boost, you might want to give “rucking” a try.

Key Points: 
  • But if you’re looking to give your daily walks a boost, you might want to give “rucking” a try.
  • Rucking is a military term used to describe a march or hike with weight.
  • Rucking blends strength training and aerobic exercise, which means it can have many benefits to both physical
    and psychological health – particularly if done outdoors.

Helps with weight management

    • The amount of additional calories you’ll burn while rucking compared to walking will vary depending on a variety of factors – including fitness level, age and the weight you’re carrying.
    • This can be particularly beneficial for those who are looking after their weight or hoping to improve their overall physical fitness.

Better mental wellbeing

    • Research shows that exercising outdoors can have a profound effect on mental wellbeing.

      Bringing a friend along may boost these mental health benefits even further – with the added bonus of lowering blood pressure.

Builds stronger bones

    • Improving bone mineral density can make doing day-to-day activities (such as carrying your shopping) easier.
    • As bone density declines with age, preserving it is vital for reducing age-related fractures and falls.

Before you begin

    • Because the exercise combines additional weight often with uneven hiking terrain, this may also make it riskier than other workouts.
    • Studies have found that in soldiers, rucking can result in back pain, lower body stress fractures (such as shin splints), blisters and knee pain.
    • This is probably due to the way your running and walking posture changes when additional weight is introduced.

1. Add load gradually

    • Others, however, have reported participants experience discomfort carrying 20% of their bodyweight when exercising for more than an hour.
    • You should also add distance gradually before your increase the amount of weight in your bag.

2. Keep it short

    • So it’s best to plan a short route those first few times and build up gradually.
    • Start with one to two sessions per week, aiming to eventually build up to the recommended 300 minutes of moderate intensity activity per week.

3. Choose the right kit

    • To make choosing a backpack easier, many companies have even designed specialist packs with weighted plates or sandbags.
    • As with any new workout regime, it’s always recommended you consult your GP to see if it’s right with you.

Knee pain: here’s why it happens, and how you can fix it

Global estimates suggest more than one in five people over the age of 40 have a form of chronic knee pain.

Key Points: 
  • Global estimates suggest more than one in five people over the age of 40 have a form of chronic knee pain.
  • But just because knee pain is common doesn’t mean you have to live with it.
  • No matter the cause, tackling knee pain is often relatively straightforward when you know what to do.
  • People with inflammatory arthritis such as gout or rheumatoid arthritis can have flare-ups that cause knee pain.

Managing pain

    • The best way of managing knee pain depends on the cause.
    • Keep strong and active: Strengthening the muscles around your knee will noticeably reduce pain and stiffness.
    • Modify your activities: Some people find pacing their activities (such as doing certain tasks when your knee pain isn’t as bad, or spacing out activities that you know may cause pain), using walking aids or wearing shoes with shock-absorbing soles (such as good trainers) to be useful.
    • But these changes may only make a small difference in managing knee pain.
    • If you find your knee pain is made worse by your work, you may also want to make some changes to the way you normally do things to help reduce pain.

Preventing pain

    • But if your knee pain is due to a problem such as a ruptured ligament or advanced osteoarthritis, knee surgery may be recommended.
    • For people with advanced osteoarthritis, operations such as total knee replacement can lead to big improvements in pain, ability to carry out daily activities and overall wellbeing.
    • GPs may recommend painkillers in some circumstances – for example if your knee pain is stopping you exercising.

Key Points: 
  • We have often been warned of the dangers of high-heeled shoes, so you might think ballet flats are problem-free.
  • There’s no definitive evidence to show ballet flats are generally harmful to foot health in the long-term.
  • Here's what the research says
    Make sure it fits, especially in the toe box
    An estimated 70% of the population are wearing ill-fitting shoes.
  • And habitual wearing of tight shoes has been associated with bone changes in the toes and feet over time.
