FitDadDave's experience with Rucking (weighted resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process — starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.

The main difference: I am on a different medication. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 51 lbs in 6 months.

One thing I would add that FitDadDave did not mention: my sleep quality improved dramatically.

Clinical perspective on Rucking (weighted walking) on GLP-1 :

I have managed over 200 patients on GLP-1 therapy and this topic comes up frequently. What the data shows — and what I see in practice — is that proper titration prevents most adverse events.

For this specific question, I would recommend: reviewing the relevant clinical guidelines.
