We ❤️ Rucking

Rucking is an effective all over body workout, it’s simply walking or hiking while carrying a weighted backpack. Adapted from military training, rucking is a popular workout for civilians. Start with a small weight in your pack at first and build up the weight as you progress. A sternal waist strap adds additional support and comfort whilst taking the pressure off your back, keeping the backpack from bouncing and sliding. A strap also helps to re-distribute the load from the back and shoulders to the hips.
