From It's Military Origins to a Global Fitness Phenomenon?
RUCKING IS TAKING THE WORLD BY STORM!
The Military Legacy of Rucking: A Tradition of Strength and Endurance
Rucking, a term derived from the old military slang "rucksack," has long been a cornerstone of military training, embodying the essence of strength, endurance, and mental fortitude. At its core, rucking involves walking or marching long distances while carrying a weighted backpack, simulating the real-world demands placed on soldiers during deployment.
Rucking (known a 'Tabbing' in the Parachute Regiment and 'Yomping' in the Royal Marines) is utilised as a decisive test of physical and mental resilience by the elite ranks of the British Army and is a rite of passage, for a reason. Because it is one of the elements that forges elite soldiers into close-knit teams capable of handling the most arduous of conditions.
