Create a Totally Custom Rucking Training Program!
Though a lot of the exercises we share on this website and our newsletter are essentially for everyone, not everyone can or should perform them. Each of us has our path, goals, time, and unique abilities, that we must consider when planning any workout, let alone a rucking workout. With that in mind, rather than post another rucking workout here, I’m extremely excited to announce that I’ve created the first version of a totally custom rucking workout generator meant to provide you with your own workout, based on your age, gender, goals, and equipment.
My goal with this service is to continue to refine it so that it provides YOU with what you need to meet your goals while rucking safely…and most of all, enjoying yourself. And…as you’ll no doubt notice, the workouts are pretty similar to a lot of what’s been published by Ruckr in the past. That’s because we believe that the best workouts are simple and functional, and engage the body (and mind) in ways that promote long-term health and wellness. In other words, the best stuff never goes out of style.
My ask of you is this: please try this service and evaluate the workout it generates for you based on your own goals and abilities. If, for instance, it recommends weighted pushups and you know that you cannot perform a weighted pushup, please switch pushups for an exercise that you can do, perhaps knee push-ups. And, as with any workout routine, before starting, consult with a healthcare provider or personal trainer, and consider seeking advice from an experienced rucker. Begin with a lighter weight, gradually increasing it over time to reduce the risk of injury, and always pay attention to how your body feels throughout the process.
Finally, as a way of continually improving this new service (and the Ruckr newsletter), I would LOVE to your feedback via email any time. Enjoy!
