What You Need for a RuckFit Class

Rucking Gear Tips

You wear a backpack, it’s a fitness thing. When in doubt, start with 10 lbs. Whatever bag you use, you want it to conform to your back as much as possible. The number one mistake we see, is when new ruckers keep their bag too low on their back. So, cinch it down and go. Target pace is 15 minutes/mile.

You only need 3 things to start rucking...

Backpack/Ruck

· Thick comfortable shoulder straps

· Secures the weight close to your back

· Cinch it down all the way, so the ruck is higher on your back

Hydration bladder or water bottles

· You’ll get thirsty, bring water

· Hydration bladder preferred so you can drink on the move

· Nalgene bottle in your ruck, mix in electrolytes

Weight

· Ensure it’s stable and close to your back while rucking

· Ruck Plates are compact, which saves space in the ruck

· 10 lbs. for beginners. Up to 50 lbs. for experts, recommended

No matter what, you pick the weight that you ruck. Anything more than nothing is rucking as long as you’re having fun and being active. You can carry Rucking Plates or just about anything else you already own in your house. Just don’t overthink it.
