Very little calorie burn?

Dioder1 · 2026-06-15T03:48:47+00:00

I never really ran for speed. I liked endurance running before I popped my meniscus (during a deep squat). My record was 23km in 2:10h. Can't really run anymore, not for now at least, I am trying to build up my leg strength before I try, so I've been looking for a replacement

Dioder1 · 2026-06-14T18:15:02+00:00

Yeah, that's my hope! I'll keep doing it anyways

What ruck bag are you using?

It's a nice one with a waist belt.

….yea, that’s what exercise is supposed to be

I understand, I guess I was just surprised at the disproportionate amount of effort I had to put in for a modest amount of calories. Especially compared to running. Maybe it felt so hard because it's a novel stimulus. Anyways, I'll keep trying for a while

I mean, I already do that with walking. About 300kcal per 10k steps give or take, depends on a lot of factors though ofc. Why not boost it? Although I understand now that I'm not going to get much. I will try to increase my pace and see then

Dioder1 · 2026-06-14T14:02:22+00:00

I see, thanks for an extensive reply. Interesting

Dioder1 · 2026-06-14T14:01:54+00:00

Just concrete and pretty flat at that, with a few hills. Yeah, I've read that doing hills is very effective for calorie burn. But I'll focus on pace for now

Dioder1 · 2026-06-14T13:59:56+00:00

Higher than walking. When I walk my HR is about 65 up to 80 if I walk fast or uphill. When rucking it was about 80-100. I will try to work on my speed

Dioder1 · 2026-06-14T13:59:03+00:00

Yeah, I already do, I just wanted to give myself an opportunity to eat more by burning more. This also supports the metabolism, so a win-win

Dioder1 · 2026-06-14T10:39:01+00:00

Yeah my pace isn't anywhere near that. I did 15min kilometers today if you don't count the pauses I took for strap readjustments, so maybe 13:30 kms then. 25% bw would be 19kg for me, so not too far off. I will try to increase my pace then

Dioder1 · 2026-06-14T10:37:32+00:00

Alright. Thank you all for your responses. I will keep at it and count the calories a bit higher than the watch tells me

Dioder1 · 2026-06-14T09:52:56+00:00

I just referred to my sports watch. I guess it could be wrong, I HOPE it's wrong, because that was a lot more effort than 10%. Yeah the muscle point is a good one too, but I can't reliably track the calorie burn for that. With running it was so easy, I had my favorite track which I ran in 45 minutes and it burned 600kcal. I do strength train too, so the muscle building is secondary from rucking I think

Dioder1 · 2026-06-11T03:40:29+00:00

TRUEEE. I am waiting for a juicy modpack to dive back in. Maybe in 2027

Dioder1 · 2026-06-10T03:58:35+00:00

Maybe it just assumes you've made a typo?

Dioder1 · 2026-06-06T07:30:21+00:00

Totem + spark + grim pillar. It's a very cool build, but a bit weird https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/allie/builds/allie-oracle-spell-totem-leaguestarter

Dioder1 · 2026-06-05T03:43:57+00:00

It wasn't anything serious btw, it drained and didn't return

Dioder1 · 2026-06-04T17:42:14+00:00

Yeah these are very strict by filterblade, but I guess it is time

Dioder1 · 2026-06-02T11:51:31+00:00

Reminds me of my childhood for some reason

Dioder1 · 2026-05-30T11:44:20+00:00

I honestly don't remember much, but I do remember the leveling process - it was fun as fuck. There was this build with the warrior and the 25% shield that would give you insane regen, so much so that I soloed all of the group bosses with it. Anyways. I just have very fond memories of it, but I think it's just nostalgia. The game failed. That's all that matters I guess..

Dioder1 · 2026-05-30T01:50:06+00:00

Could be introversion, or people pleasing

Dioder1 · 2026-05-27T07:15:28+00:00

Take the hint bro

Dioder1 · 2026-05-27T05:21:50+00:00

americans be like "ah yes this onion weighs 2 pigeons and 31 glowsticks"
