Tracking Rucking on Apple Watch

Hi all, I'm a regular Rucker (weighted hiker). There is no current category to track this on the Apple Watch, what is a good equivalent exercise to substitute? I know Rucking burns approx 2.5x calories to walking. So...which exercise should I pick to track?

Over the years I’ve used the Hiking option and the Outdoor Walk option. Neither really captures the extra burn in calories from 30-45 pounds of additional weight. Nor do they help capture the VO2 difference.


I guess rucking is still a niche workout, but it would be nice if Apple brought on to the Apple Watch since they have a video game fitness option.


Here is a link to the product feedback: Product Feedback - Apple. Perhaps with enough feedback a Rucking Option with selectable weight could get incorporated.
