This is a progressive rucking series – starting off slow and building as you are able. I will be starting with a village street route as you learn the subtle skills of rucking and progressing from there to close by main and side hiking trails of the Bruce Trail.Information covered over the 4 weeks will include: the uses of rucking, its health benefits, proper posture and “stability” when rucking, tips on how to safely progress your rucking.
Prerequisite of participants: Please sign up for this fun and encouraging rucking series ONLY IF: 1) YOU CAN MAKE ALL 4 WEEKS OF THE SERIES 2) You have (or can borrow) a backpack with both a hip (padded is recommended) and chest strap. A cover for your pack is optional but recommended for wet conditions; 3) you walk or hike 6km+ regularly (2-3 times a week) and can maintain a moderate pace (3-4km/hr); and, 4) you have NO unresolved joint issues (especially hip, knee, ankle and feet joints).
What to Bring: your backpack ;), water and a snack. Please dress according to the weather (layers are best). Note: wearing a backpack (especially with weight) will keep you warmer than without. I will be contacting you closer to the first week with any other information you may need to know.
This series will run RAIN OR SHINE. Extreme weather will always be a consideration.
The continuation and expansion of this series will be dependent on its success. Hope to see you there!
