What is Rucking? Rucking is the action of walking with weight on your back. It’s low impact exercise that improves cardio, strength, endurance and mind.
You don’t need much to start:
- backpack
- weight (books, bricks, sand, dirt, etc.)
- water (staying hydrated; water bottle, bladder)
- outdoors
- friends (thought not necessary, it makes it more fun)
- 2-4 miles, 15-20 minutes per mile
The weight is personal. If you can only do 5 lbs., great! If you can do 50, great! Just get out and have fun.
