Rucking is the exercise that does it all. By walking with weight, you get fit without cardio and build muscle without the gym.

All you need is some weight on your back.

Get started with rucking by shopping our range of weighted ruckpacks (rucking backpacks) or weighted plate carriers.

Step 1: add weight to a pack
You can use any decent rucksack for rucking, but it makes sense to use a purpose-build ruckpack and weights that will be comfortable and durable.

Step 2: adjust for comfort
Make sure the weight is distributed evenly across your back, with shoulder and chest straps of your ruckpack or plate carrier tightened snugly.

Step 3: shoes, socks, essentials
You wouldn’t run in beaten up old trainers. Choose rucking footwear that’s supportive and comfortable. And carry your phone and water.

Step 4: start rucking
Rucking is the art of walking or hiking with weight on your back. You can choose any distance, any duration, and any incline. Start with shorter, flatter routes.

Rucking is the ultimate full-body exercise that works endurance, strength, and cardiovascular fitness. And it’s fun, too. All you need to do is get some weight on your back then head out with friends, with the dog, or by yourself.
