If you can walk, you can ruck
Put simply, Rucking is walking with a weight. By combining cardio with strength training, rucking is an easy exercise option for all ages that comes with a bunch of health benefits, including improved strength, calorie burn, mental health, sleep and bone density. By adjusting the weight, your pace, and/or distance, rucking can adapt to suit any fitness level.

Two Easy Ways to Walk with Weight
Whatever your level of fitness, RUKSAK will start right where you are and grow as you go!
RUKVEST
RUKVEST is a grab and go, fixed weight ruck offering that's perfect to use when going for those quick walks, mowing the lawn or walking with the dog. Crafted using a proprietary weighted gel technology, RUKVEST is the most comfortable weight vest ever created and comes at a more affordable price point than RUKSAK, making rucking accessible to almost everyone.
RUKSAK
A premium rucksack built to last. Users can add weight to RUKSAK, one RUKBRIK at a time, allowing smaller weight increments than traditional rucksacks.
RUKSAK also doubles as a handy home workout tool, with accessories to add benefits above and beyond just the rucking itself.

Osteopenia vs Osteoporosis: Why Your Weighted Vest Strategy Changes
You've had your bone density scan. The results say "osteopenia." You google it. You panic. Then you see "osteoporosis" mentioned and get even more confused. They sound like the same thing.

Perimenopause vs Postmenopause: Why Timing Matters for Bone Loading
Bone loss doesn’t wait until menopause — it starts years earlier. During perimenopause, falling estrogen accelerates bone density decline, making this the most important time to start bone-loading exercise. Weighted movement, like walking with a comfortable vest, helps strengthen bones, improve posture, and maintain long-term mobility.

Choosing the Right Weighted Vest Filling (and Why to Avoid Granular Iron Sand)
When it comes to weighted vests, not all fillers are created equal. Many cheaper options use granular iron sand, which shifts, leaks, and breaks down over time. At RUKVEST, we use weighted gel technology (iron sand encased within a stabilising gel), keeping the weight evenly balanced and securely sealed. Here’s why this small design difference makes a big impact on comfort, performance, and durability.
