Instructions

  1. Put on a secure backpack filled with comfortable weight, making sure the straps are adjusted snugly against your back.

  2. Stand tall with your core lightly braced and shoulders back to support the added load.

  3. Begin jogging at an easy, manageable pace while keeping your stride controlled and steady.

  4. Land softly on your midfoot with every step to help absorb the impact and protect your joints.

  5. Maintain a consistent breathing rhythm and keep your torso upright throughout the run.

  6. Slow down gradually to a walk when finishing your session rather than stopping abruptly.
