WHAT IS RUCKING:

​

Rucking is defined as running or walking with weight. It is a great way to physically and mentally challenge yourself. It is considered low impact strength training. Some of the benefits of rucking include:

• Building full body strength

• Burns 3x more calories than walking

• Boosts Confidence

• Increases bone density

• Improves your mood
