RUCK+ | Building Effort

We really hope you guys love PATHFINDER's RUCK+ feature as much as we do. It's a great way to get your miles down and have your exercise movements mimic event experiences. 

Today we've got a great workout where we're sneakily adding volume every half-mile. Each mile builds on the efforts of the previous mile. This interval workout is best done with 2 rounds for a total of 4 miles.

What exercises should I know?

Thrusters Squat + Overhead Ruck Press

Jack Squats with Floor Tap A jack squat is the bottom of a jumping jack. When you jump your feet out, fluidly move into a squat and tap one hand to the ground. On the next rep, tap your opposite hand. These are best done without a ruck.

*If you have mobility issues getting a hand to the ground, put your ruck on the ground and tap that instead.
