traveltech_sara — that is really helpful context on Rucking (weighted. Follow-up question: how long did you wait before increasing your dose?
I am in a similar situation (week 4) and trying to set realistic expectations.
To answer DadBodDave's question specifically:
From a clinical standpoint, Rucking (weighted walking) on is a reasonable concern that deserves a thorough answer.
The short answer: the evidence supports this approach for most patients.
The longer answer involves reviewing the specific clinical trial data relevant to your question, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.
Thank you SleepDoc_PDX! This is incredibly helpful. Taking this to my next appointment. 🙏

Verify Your PeptidesRelevant to Rucking (weighted walking) on — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 7.2% → 5.3%, triglycerides 231 → 101 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 1.3 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 11 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
Slightly tangential to Rucking (weighted but SleepDoc_PDX reminded me — has anyone else noticed changes in their alcohol tolerance?
