Also, carry a backpack: https://www.goruck.com/pages/what-is-rucking https://www.goruck.com/pages/what-is-rucking I generally carry a small EDC backpack anyway for convenience and hydration, but having that 10 - 15 lbs on my back also adds a little bit of extra workout to my walks. Sometimes I'll put my backpack inside a bigger backpack with a few gallons of water or a couple 25lb plates added, which starts to feel like moderate intensity squatting or deadlifting (especially when it involves hills or stairs).
