How to Get Started Rucking ( Step‑by‑Step Guide)
🦴 Choose the right gear:
→ Pick a backpack made of durable & strong material, with good straps and a waist belt so it fits snug. Ensure it's comfortable, as you won't stick with it if it's not.
♥️ Add Weight:
→ Start light, around 10% of your body weight is a good rule.
💪 Pick Your Terrain:
→ Pavement, park, trail, mix it up, but pick something comfortable to start.
🔥 Check Your Posture:
→ Stand tall, shoulders back, core tight. Let the backpack rest high and close to your body.
🤗 Progress Gradually:
→ Once walking with that weight feels good, slowly add more weight or increase distance.
👏 Gear Tip:
→ Load your backpack so the weight sits high, close to your spine, and strap in properly so it doesn’t bounce.
*Bonus: the STEPR ALL-IN Ruck™ includes a waist belt, premium adjustable handles, fillable sand bags up to 40lbs that many others charge extra for, so you're ready to go immediately.
