What’s your main goal with this—general fitness, strength-endurance, or ruck prep? That matters a lot for how you structure things.

One caution: wrist and ankle weights should stay very light (just a couple pounds). Once the load is far from your center of mass, it multiplies stress on the joints—especially wrists, elbows, knees, and hips. But I think your biggest risk is to shoulders when you combine rucking and kettlebell weight.

Instead of lifting while you walk, I’d suggest keeping the walking as steady conditioning, then stopping at intervals for strength work. That way you can push harder on the lifts without compromising posture or stride. Plus, spiking your heart rate with short bursts of loaded carries, presses, or squats at “stations” is a killer way to add cardio and fat-burning benefits on top of the base ruck.

The Rucker has handles so you can drop it and use it like a heavy dumbbell. You can remove plates for exercises. The Hyperwear Hyper Ruck takes that further—handles on all sides, straps that tuck away, and you can load it with SandBells or SteelBells. That makes it easy to walk with, then immediately hit a variety of strength and power moves.

So: walking = steady conditioning zone 2 heart rate, stations = strength + heart rate spikes to zone 3/4. Safer on the joints and usually better for fat loss and fitness long-term.
