Movement Breakdown

Ruck Flutter Kicks

  • Lie on your back with the ruck resting on your lower shins or held at your chest.
  • Lift your legs a few inches off the ground and flutter them in a small, steady kicking motion.
  • Keep your lower back pressed into the ground throughout.

Ruck Russian Twists

  • Sit with knees bent, heels on the ground, torso leaned back slightly, holding the ruck at your chest.
  • Rotate your torso to tap the ruck on the ground beside your hip.
  • Rotate to the opposite side and repeat, keeping your core engaged throughout.

Ruck Man Makers

  • Start standing with the ruck on the ground in front of you.
  • Place your hands on the ruck, kick back into a plank, and perform a push-up.
  • Row the ruck up to your ribs on one side, then the other.
  • Jump your feet back up to your hands, stand, and finish with a clean and press of the ruck overhead.
