Kayla Girgen, RD, LD, CPT

Registered Dietitian, Personal Trainer, and Author of Ruck Fit

Ruck Fit shows you how to build strength, resilience, and improve your metabolic health using one of the most underrated exercises: walking with weight.

It’s simple. It’s effective. And it works.

You’re Not Failing at Fitness, You’re Missing the Right Framework

If you’ve tried diets, tracked macros, followed “perfect” plans, and still feel confused or stuck, the problem isn’t discipline.

It’s that generic advice ignores how your body actually responds to food and movement.

Ruck Fit provides insight to build strength and balance blood sugar without extremes, restriction, or burnout.

What You’ll Learn

  • How rucking builds strength, metabolic health, and mental resilience
  • Why most fitness plans fail and tactics to stick to an exercise routine long-term
  • Ways to fuel your body without cutting out foods you love
  • How rucking helps reconnect with nature and the impact of social fitness

Why This Book Is Different

Anyone can write a fitness book. Few combine science, lived experience, and real-world application.

I’ve helped hundreds of individuals cut through nutrition noise and escape fitness extremes—without sacrificing results.

Ruck Fit meets you where you’re at to build a sustainable fitness regimen that grows with you as you get stronger.

Stop Second-Guessing Every Bite. Start Feeling Strong Again.

If you’re tired of dieting, confused by conflicting advice, and stuck in your head around food and fitness, you don’t need more willpower—you need clarity and direction.

I help high performers get out of their own way and understand what actually works for them. Using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and simple, nature-based movement like rucking, we work together to develop habits that stick.

This Isn’t Another Nutrition Plan. It’s a System.

  • Build strength, energy, and confidence with sustainable movement
  • Ditch extremes and create habits that fit real life
  • Learn exactly how your body responds to food using real-time CGM data
  • Stop labeling foods as “good” or “bad”
