A
Monday post on the FitWalk Facebook page
read, “We maxed out the sweat-o-meter today,
3.5 miles and lots of sunshine on farm roads. It
takes courage (or something ... ?) to do this in July —
in Mississippi.”
Whatever the “something” is, FitWalk — a free
community walking and rucking group in Starkville
— is finding more and more people with it. David
Harned is the founding force behind these enthusi-
asts who recently added a new twist to their meetups
— rucking.
Rucking has been used by the military to train sol-
diers since the American Revolution. Soldiers march
with rucksacks, the military term for a backpack,
loaded with gear. The weighted ruck provides an aer-
obic workout while simultaneously providing strength
training. Adopted and adapted by FitWalk and groups
like it, it’s significant exercise that targets several key
areas of fitness at the same time. And it’s creating a
community in Starkville.
“At least once a week, we do a minimum 3-mile
walk, and I welcome anybody who wants to walk
— walk fast, walk slow,” said Harned, who is also a Courtesy photos
