Rucking Guide is an independent guide to rucking: walking with a weighted pack for fitness. We cover how to start, how much weight to carry, and what gear to buy.
Our load calculator reports pack weight as a share of body weight from numbers you enter. That is arithmetic, not medical advice. Ask a qualified clinician if you are unsure whether loaded walking is right for you.
Load and injury guidance on this site comes from exercise science and published research, not forum opinion. Gear specifications come from manufacturer pages, checked and dated at the time of writing.
