Simply put, rucking is backpacking: carrying weight while walking.

Humans aren't the fastest or strongest animals, but we have high levels of endurance and the ability to carry with our hands while walking. Rucking is a modern adaptation of this functional activity: carrying a load over time and distance using a backpack (or weight vest).

What are the Benefits of Rucking?

• It's Fun!!!
• It's Great Exercise: Engages multiple muscle groups and burns more calories than walking.
• It's Adaptable: You can do it almost anywhere.
• No Complicated or Expensive Equipment Needed
• Improves Posture
• Better Than Walking: More core activation and muscle/bone stimulation.
• Better Than Running: Lower impact, making it more sustainable for longer distances.
