“Who would have thought that a seemingly simple workout would take the world by storm?

KettleRuck is a full-body workout that uses a kettlebell, a rucksack, and your own body weight to give you a challenging workout.

The workout is simple but effective, and it can be done anywhere, making it appealing to people of all fitness levels!”

^^ This is what I hope they’ll be saying when my secret gets out!

You see, rucking is a fantastic way to get some cardio in without all the impact that comes with running. You can also use your kettlebell as weight in your ruck. If you’re looking to get in shape or lose some weight, I highly recommend giving rucking a try!

Here are a few tips to get you started:

1 – Ruck for 30 to 60 minutes continuously with a load of 10-50 lbs (a kettlebell works great for this)
2 – 30 lbs is a great sweet spot for most
3 – You can wear boots if you’re preparing for something specifically that will require it; running shoes are also fine
4 – March at a pace quicker than a stroll, with purpose
5 – Shoot to get your heart rate in the 60-70% of max heart rate range
6 – Not required, but if you can, pick a route with a few hills / un-even terrain
7 – Make sure your kettlebell is not going to slam into your back – wrap it in a towel before putting them in your ruck

If you have a sturdy backpack you think will work for this, you’re all set! If you are looking to purchase one, check out the EVATEC Tactical Backpack linked below first – it’s solid quality (I use it personally!), and for a limited time it’s FREE (you just pay shipping):
