FAQs
What is rucking? How does it differ from walking or hiking?
Rucking is a form of exercise that involves walking with a backpack, typically carrying extra weight—usually 10-20% of your body weight. Unlike regular walking or hiking, rucking adds resistance, which increases strength, endurance, and challenge.
What are the physical and mental benefits of rucking?
Rucking offers a range of benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, increased strength and endurance, and enhanced mental well-being. The combination of physical exertion and time spent outdoors can contribute to reduced stress, improved mood, and a sense of accomplishment.
Can anyone start rucking, or is it for experienced athletes?
Absolutely! Rucking is accessible to individuals of all fitness levels. Beginners can start with a lighter load and gradually increase weight as they build strength and stamina. It's a versatile activity that can be adapted to your fitness level and goals.
Can I ruck for weight loss, and how effective is it ?
Rucking can be an effective way to support weight loss, as it combines cardiovascular exercise with resistance training. The calories burned during a ruck will depend on factors such as weight, distance, and pace. It's a versatile and enjoyable alternative to traditional workouts.
What gear do I need to start rucking, and is it expensive?
To start rucking, you'll need a sturdy backpack, comfortable walking shoes or boots, and a weight for your backpack. While there are specialized rucking gear options, you can begin with basic items you may already have.

About Ruck Evolution
Ruck Evolution was founded in the foothills of Boulder, Colorado, from a desire to get fit while enjoying the great outdoors. It is a counterpoint to the endless empire of indoor exercise classes that convinced people workouts should be done in a strip mall staring at mirrors, sterile walls and tv screens.
We knew there had to be a better way.
Health thrives outdoors. With sun, and wind, and trees. Where your mind is soothed, your stress is calmed and your body is invigorated.
Rucking puts an important pause to the endless cycle of home-to-car-to-office-to-gym then back home again lifestyle so many of us lead. More than just putting on a backpack and walking, being outside on a ruck is where you happen upon the unpredictable incidents that create a life.
In this era where everything is about convenience, rucking is a scenic route to a healthy body and mind, where the journey is truly as important as the destination.
Join us to see how rucking goes beyond fitness, to foster a sense of discovery, camaraderie, and mental clarity. Plus, it’s incredibly accessible. Where you can walk, you can ruck!. Our classes are not just a workout; they’re a much-needed detour. Welcome to The Everywhere Gym.
