I've ruck 35lbs for 5kms every alternating days and mix it up with push ups against walls/balustrades. I'm 6'1', 200pounds and after three weeks didn't lose a single pound but gained 3.5kgs of muscles according to my smart scale. My gut is smaller too. Its amazing

[@CoachHelder]

Never trust the scale. I always go by how I feel and how my pants and belt fit me. 🤣 Good stuff and Stay Motivated! 🍻 -Hg

Great video. I’ve just started rucking, and it’s quite a lot of fun.

Great to hear, Welcome! I actually have a rucking guide coming out in the next few weeks. People have been asking so I figured that it was time. 🍻

Glad that you found them useful, Anthony! -Hg

[@johnrooney1033]

I've been rucking for about 2 years now. I ran for years, but it really started to beat me up as I got older. I'm also not built like a "runner" (6'4" 240). Rucking has been a great addition to my fitness routine. I know my home state, and it looks like you're rucking in NJ.

[@CoachHelder]

Thanks for sharing, John! Some great info in that comment that many people will find useful. For all the good, bad and dumb shit in this state... I'll always be a Jersey boy! Stay in touch; I'm based in Carteret. Exit 12 off the Pike! Gotta mention the Exit. 😂 -Hg

[@johnrooney1033]

@@CoachHelder I'm a Jersey lifer myself. I'm in Long Branch and grew up in Red Bank. I do a lot of rucking in Highlands, Hartshorne Woods, and over the Sandy Hook Bridge. You can't beat the hills or the views.

Really good vid Helder, thanks for posting. Been rucking since the first lockdown (march here in Scotland). Like you I have learned alot about my local area!

[@CoachHelder]

Thank you Tom, I appreciate your feedback.and support! Its amazing how much we learn when we march through areas that we commonly pass by daily, via another form of transportation. The smells, sights, sounds... are all quite a bit different when we are out there, experiencing nature in one of its more simplistic forms. Stay in touch and Cheers, my friend! 🍻 -Hg

Im Rucking in the UK. My walks before i was always looking to the ground day dreaming as i walked. I guess i was depressed. Rucking has helped as the weight in the back pack has made my posture better and im looking up now and seeing the world and nature for how amazing it can be

Been rucking for a while but found shin splints can get in the way sometimes. If this happens, try short strides but high reps rather than long streps low reps. Can honestly say rucking has saved my ass in more way than one... happy rucking guys

@@CoachHelder thanks so much for the like! It all happened by accident... Basically, just started walking home from university to avoid being in the house and having so much to think about. Noticed I started losing weight, getting stronger and my head felt better....could say it "changed" my life but no word of a lie I think it "saved" it. Great way to clear the mind and get in shape.

Thanks Daniel, I appreciate your feedback and support! We definitely need to get out there soon. Let's see what the near future holds. I still Ruck on a weekly basis but it's either just me and my dog or 2-3 of my regulars at most. I recently stated a channel that I archive footage from our Rucks.

[@mrwaffletv2995]

I'm not even from the US and rucking sounds very fun, I do plan going to the us maybe I will even move there so I could even find people to ruck with, I'm sure it would be very enjoyable to speak with people as I walk.

[@CoachHelder]

It is certainly an enjoyable event, Mr. Waffle. Well... sometimes it is and other times, we really step it up and challenge ourselves. If you are able to carry on a conversation, you aren't rucking fast enough. LOL! It really depends on the focus of the ruck. I have various programs that are built into certain rucks. We use the gear in our rucksacks to exercise with when we get to certain mile markers. The options are countless and easy to vary. I hope you can join us one day. Be safe and thanks for taking the time to comment. -Hg

I did too! I retainer my weight but my gut was reduced and gained over 3kgs of muscles in two weeks! Rucking is one of the most amazing thing I've found. I don't know why not many do it

[@Macdaddy8124U]

What about long term issues with rucking - back issues? What do you recommend for old people rucking ? I recently had double hip surgery, do you recommend rucking for my condition?

[@CoachHelder]

Hello, I would suggest getting cleared by a medical pro. From there, take a few hikes without a pack. Focus on distance not time. Once you are comfortable with that distance, add your rucksack with very little weight. From there, increase the weight in your pack by a pound or 2 each week or every couple of weeks. I am actually working on a rucking program. It should be live within the next 2 months. If you are interested, be sure to subscribe and stay posted. Slow and steady os usually the best and most sustainable route. -Hg

I have not yet bought one, I’m late to the party. I have heard that the Go Ruck bags are good but they are a little pricey.

They are definitely pricey but you do get what you pay for. There are a bunch of viable options out there that are much less expensive. With the 'Sale' season coming up, definitely keep your eyes open for great deals. I generally send out any go deals that I find to my mailing list.

There are many factors such as your current physical condition and of course, your goal(s.) Keep in mind that pace, distance and the amount that you are carrying all play a big role in this equation. Start slow, get yourself a baseline and then get out there as often as you can. Safety first and ease your way in. -Hg
