It’s packed with features that make it easy to keep track of your progress, whether you’re out on a long ruck, running, biking, or doing a gym workout.
One of the best things about this watch is how reliable it is when it comes to tracking your exercise. It has over 120 sports modes, so you can choose the one that fits your activity. For rucking, the built-in GPS works great—it tracks your distance, pace, and elevation without needing your phone.

The watch is easy to use, and the free Zepp app gives you a clear view of your stats, goals, and progress. You can even set training goals, check your history, and see how your performance improves over time.
For the price, the Amazfit Active gives you a lot of value. Whether you're new to rucking or already training hard, this watch can help you stay on track and motivated. It’s a great choice for anyone who wants to train smarter and see real results.

Product Review: Perfectio Juvenis by Zero Gravity
I recently tried out the Perfectio Juvenis by Zero Gravity, and honestly, I was pretty impressed. This device uses red light therapy, which is known for helping with recovery, reducing inflammation, and improving your skin’s overall health.
At first, I was skeptical because it looks like just another fancy skincare tool. But after using it a few times, I noticed my face felt less puffy, especially after hard ruck training days when I’m tired and swollen. Red light therapy helps increase blood flow and speeds up healing, which is awesome if you’re dealing with sore muscles, small injuries, or just general fatigue after working out.
One of the main reasons I bought it was for my knee pain. I’ve been dealing with soreness in my knees after long rucks, and I started using this device on them a few times a week. I was honestly surprised at how much it helped. My knees feel less stiff and painful, and I’ve been recovering faster between training sessions.
The device is super easy to use. You just turn it on, and the warm red light feels relaxing on your skin. I like that it’s small and lightweight, so you can use it while watching TV or chilling before bed. It is pretty expensive, but if you’re serious about recovery and skincare, it feels like an investment that will last a long time.
Overall, if you want to reduce soreness, recover faster, and improve your skin at the same time, the Perfectio Juvenis is worth checking out.

I recently got the FreezeSleeve Ice and Heat Therapy Sleeve, and it has been a game-changer for my recovery routine. I use it mainly on my knees after long rucks, but it also works great on elbows, ankles, and wrists. What I like most is how easy it is to use. You just keep it in the freezer, then slide it on like a sleeve when you need ice therapy.
I’ve also used it as a heat sleeve by microwaving it for a short time. The heat feels amazing when my knees or legs are stiff and tired. The sleeve is flexible and doesn’t feel bulky, so I can still walk around or relax without holding an ice pack in place.
Another thing I love is that it comes in a 2-piece pack, so I can use both at the same time if I have soreness in multiple spots. The material feels soft on my skin, and it doesn’t leak or sweat like some ice packs do.
Overall, the FreezeSleeve is great for reducing pain, swelling, and muscle soreness after training. If you’re looking for an easy and effective way to recover from rucking or any hard work out, I highly recommend it.

Durable performance: Rated water‑resistant for up to 80 minutes, it keeps protecting through sweat, swimming, and a full day on the trail.
