Do you remember when The Rise dedicated an entire month to rucking around NYC? Do you have no idea what I’m talking about, but you’re a big fan of walking while wearing a heavy backpack? Well good news! We’ll be doing that once a week – Mondays at 7 PM – during the month of August!
Rucking is a simple, low-impact and social form of exercise. All you need to do is load up a backpack with weights or other heavy objects and bring it to our once a week meeting spot. We will embark on a 3-4 mile walk together in a different set of neighborhoods each week and end at a bar/restaurant. It’s always a good time and a great chance to see your fellow Risers outside of early morning hours!
These smiles and thumbs up don’t lie!
