What % do you think obesity contributes to the health problems in our country? (ETA - and why is rucking the best answer? :) ) Part II

My shoes that I bought in April are about done. I think I need to buy some non workout shoes because I have been just wearing my ruck shoes even to just go to the grocery store and sometimes work.

Any mountain bikers on this thread? Old, fat, and slow, but love it!

I'm not, but any work is good work!

I generally keep 1-2 pairs of dedicated ruck shoes alongside any other shoes.

It helps me to track milage via Strava as I've seen the trend in my milage vs knee pain from my mangled meniscus. I could at one time get around 700 miles per pair (five years ago), now ~450 is about my max.

I recently listened to this and really enjoyed it: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podca...nsulin-resistance/id818198322?i=1000717375694

Insulin resistance silently shapes the trajectory of nearly every major chronic disease, yet it's often overlooked until blood sugar abnormalities become obvious. In this episode, Dr. Ben Bikman exposes the dietary culprits that drive metabolic dysfunction and highlights actionable, evidence-based tactics for improving metabolic health. Ben also addresses pressing questions about popular weight loss medications like Ozempic and other GLP-1 agonists: Are they groundbreaking solutions, or shortcuts with hidden metabolic consequences?

My first set of rucking shoes have been completely worn out. They were so worn out, it was starting to affect me. Bought a new pair today. I went with Brooks Glycerin 22 this time over the Ascics Gel- Cumulus 27.
