re: Rucking vest weight

I wear a GoRuck Rucker with 30lbs while walking my dog, typically get about 60-80 min per day in it. Goal is to get steps in and be in Zone 1 or Zone 2.

I weigh 170lbs and the 30lb bag is easy, but I've been rucking for years.

If you are just looking for general fitness, start at 20lbs and work up as needed.

Edit: Forgot to add, I would recommend taking a normal backpack and filling it up with 20lbs of stuff to test out rucking. If you like it, then invest in something like a GoRuck. Otherwise, it is a fairly substantial investment.
