Te Aroha Ruck Club Ruck tomorrow is around the wetlands. Approximately 3km from CrossFit HWPO it will be athletes choice as to how much weight they wish to carry. Bring a back pack, meet at 65 Rewi Street at 4pm.

Another Ruck Club ruck done and dusted on Sunday. A 50% bodyweight carry was on the menu. The Upper Domain Loop was just enough (1.5km distance) with the first portion being the hill climb to the blue marker turnoff.

Such a great, low impact way to spike the heart rate, and build lean muscle through carrying load in the beautiful Te Aroha bush.

If you havent tried Rucking yet, join us every Sunday at 4pm. Hosted by CrossFit HWPO, all you need is a back pack and some walking shoes.

We will load 50% bodyweight in to our back packs (meet at CrossFit HWPO to load up), drive to the I-site, where we will depart to ruck the Upper Domain Loop.

This should be an approximate 30 minute ruck.
