Getting started is always the hardest part. But we promise, after you have done this for a period of time, you will love it. Adding a bit of challenge to your walk, will give you noticeable results in just a few weeks.
Changing your regulars walks to mini workouts! Bringing some extra weight on your walks, will give you noticeable results in just a few weeks.
Start with 5-10% of your body weight when adding load to your backpack. For example, Simon, who weighs about 84 kg, would start with around 8.4 kg; I’ll use 10 kg since I’m walking a bit more.
This range aligns with common recommendations that the WALCK backpacks should not exceed 10-15% of body weight to maintain comfort and reduce injury risk. 🤯
Head outdoors alone, or invite a friend or family member to accompany you. Embrace nature and enjoy your walk, let your mind roam freely. It's beneficial to simply enjoy your surroundings.
Having trouble? Listening to music during your walk is perfectly okay too. Aim for a 45-60 minute walk. Feeling good? Try extending your walk even more ✌️
It’s important you do not start too heavy. Your body needs time to adjust gradually to the added weight. After a week or so, try increasing the weight slightly and pay close attention to how it feels.
Remember, everyone adapts at their own pace, so be patient with yourself. Listening to your body is crucial to avoid overexertion and injury… otherwise, you might end up looking as exhausted as I did 🤓.
