Can you hit a gym out on the road.

Exercise is important, but diet accounts for most of your health.

If you want exercise, consider getting into flatbed or other types of trucking that keep you active. I switched to flatbed from "no touch van" going on three years ago. I love it. I would never consider going back to van or reefer. I'm 62 and having a blast.

 

Planet Fitness Black card good nation wide includes massage beds . I also carry my boxing gear , found a Mutai gym in Phoenix on monday that let me stop in for a good workout . I carry jump rope and dumbells . Drives me nuts to not be able to workout , been a guest at many gyms across North America .

 

The only thing most drivers are "hitting" is the buffet tables.

 

Trucking takes all your free time, I would say. Meaning if your not driving your sleeping or showering or eating.g or doing laundry. Today with ELDs your less likely to drop trailer and bobtailing to a gym. Dropping a loaded trailer and leaving it unattended is not a good idea. As a driver your responsible for that load.

Just sign up for a flatbed company those driver get all kinds of workout taping in the winter like today it was 13F. Then in the summer you be sweating all you can in the 118F Arizona heat. Plus I hear they pay you $75 or something to tarp a load. So they are paying you to exercise !

 

Dive dropped #45 in the past 7 months, eat clean, but out all the sugar and get an exercise band (A heavy rubber tube with handles). Clean eating is the key. A good fridge will pay for itself in a month if your eating fast food all the time.
I stop at walmart about every 10 days or so and stock up. I figure I spend about 45-65 A week on food. Lots of oatmeal, chicken breasts and vegetables. Add some canned soup, sandwich stuff and a few gallons of water and your done.
Google Hot logic mini. Makes cooking chicken breasts, veggies really simple

 

I try to stop at gym about 2 times per weak.I’m using Lifetime fitness.

 

Wanting to maintain a good gym schedule is often not about "losing weight" but is about maintaining or increasing strength and building or maintaining muscle mass. Simply adjusting your eating habits is not going to address that in the least, and tarping 3 loads a week isn't going to help much either.

Bottom line is, trucking (OTR) and maintaining a 3 day/wk weight training schedule is generally not going to happen.
