How the Program Works

​While most of this program is done on your own, it is designed to keep you on track and accountable for successful completion of the program. There are awesome prizes awarded to each one that stays accountable with a 100% completion rate of each activity, each week.

​Rucking group members must take a photo of their GPS, Garmin, Fitbit, MapMyWalk recording, or photo of themselves on the trail with it date stamped. Post the photo in the private Facebook group, email or text it to Full Potential each time they complete the programmed activity for accountability.
