Benefits of Rucking

Increased Calorie Burn

Carrying weight while walking increases the energy expenditure, leading to a higher calorie burn compared to walking without added weight. This can be beneficial for those looking to burn more calories or increase the intensity of their workouts.

Improved Cardiovascular Fitness

Rucking at a brisk pace or increasing load can elevate your heart rate and provide a cardiovascular workout similar to walking or jogging. This aids cardio-respiratory fitness when regularly undertaken.

Improved Strength

Rucking engages various muscle groups, including those in the legs, back, shoulders, and core, as they work to support and carry the added weight. This can lead to improved muscle strength and endurance over time.

Enhanced Bone Density

Weight-bearing activities like rucking can stimulate bone growth and help maintain or improve bone density, potentially reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Not to mention Rucking is primarily an outdoor activity so Vitamin D exposure via sunlight is the perfect side effect.

Social Connection

Rucking can be a social activity if done with friends, family, or in group settings like RUK Clubs.

Injury Prevention

Rucking enhances strength and stability by activating various muscle groups and improving core support, which aids in injury prevention.

Your Rucking Toolkit

We want to support Allied Health Professionals to utilise our equipment to better the exercise offerings available to your clients.

There are so many ways you could incorporate Rucking into your Exercise Prescription tool kit.

A supplemental mode of exercise to support 1:1 Clients. We appreciate that clients requiring individualised programming may be limited to a few sessions/week. By programming Rucking on their “off days” clients get the strength and cardio benefits with ease of use out of the gym.
Adding a RuckClub to your Clinic's offerings. This is the perfect social activity that caters to nearly all of your clients. Help build your community whilst working on a great outdoor group event. If you’re interested in setting up a Ruck Club but don’t know where to start, simply us the PDF guide below with ideas and action points to get started.
Rucks and Vests can be used as an extension of your strength training equipment. Think of these wearables as a solution to grip-based issues with DB’S/ KB’S on step-ups, carries, lunges even difficulty maintaining a good squat position. This range of equipment is a new option for your clients.
Stock your Clinic with Rucks and Vests for your clients to “loan” and provide extra value within your service offerings. Specifically with our RUKSAK product range you have the capacity to start at 1kg of weight and work up from there. Under your supervision you could titrate their load to improvements, injuries or plateaus as required. Making this a fantastic option for new exercisers or newly diagnosed patients with multiple co-morbidities.

In order to make the uptake of Rucking and RUK products easy for you, we have developed the following options that can help you gain equipment at a wholesale price, support your community and create a secondary revenue stream for your business should you wish to take advantage of our Affiliate program.
