What is Rucking? (Powered by 2XSR SBV2)

Rucking is as simple as it sounds — walking with weight on your back. It’s a low-impact, highly effective exercise that builds muscle, burns calories, and improves your overall fitness.
Humans have been carrying heavy loads over long distances for centuries. At 2XSR, we embrace this timeless practice with modern gear built for today's athlete.

Why Rucking?

Rucking is the foundation of strength and endurance.
Adding weight to your walk increases the intensity, improving cardiovascular health, core strength, and mental toughness without the wear and tear of running.

Benefits of Rucking include:

Fat Burning: Rucking burns up to 3x more calories than walking alone.
Strength Building: Carrying weight builds your back, shoulders, glutes, and core.
Low Impact: It's easier on your joints than running, making it a sustainable fitness method for life.

Whether you're training for a competition, adventure racing, hiking, or just want to get fit — rucking is for you.

What Do I Need to Start Rucking?

Starting is simple.
You just need:

A durable backpack (we recommend any rugged daypack)
Weight (like the 2XSR Sandbag V2 [SBV2])
Good shoes (trail running shoes or hiking boots work great)

The 2XSR SBV2 is a perfect tool for beginners and advanced ruckers alike.
It’s compact, adjustable, and made to handle the grind of rucking, training, or outdoor fitness challenges.

The SBV2 lets you adjust your weight over time, making it ideal whether you’re just starting or pushing yourself to new limits.

How Much Weight Should I Ruck With?

If you're new to rucking, start light:

Beginner: 10–20 lbs
Intermediate: 20–30 lbs
Advanced: 30–50 lbs+

The 2XSR SBV2 makes it easy to scale. You can add or remove filler bags inside to match your strength and goals.

Pro Tip:
Start lighter than you think you need and work your way up. Proper form and consistency are more important than starting heavy.

How Often Should I Ruck?

Start by rucking 1–2 times per week.
Build up your mileage and weight gradually.
Once your body adapts, you can ruck more frequently — many enthusiasts ruck 3–5 times a week.

Consistency matters. Even short 20-30 minute rucks with your SBV2 can make a massive difference over time.

Is Rucking for Me?

Short answer: Yes.
If you can walk, you can ruck.
