Working out on the tarmac

Also crunches, planks and the like can be done in your bunk.

 

I saw a guy who used a roller wheel (for abs) in his cab. Feet under the bunk, roll diagonally to the passenger door area
My truck, nah. Your truck? Maybe....

 

Neat idea, I might try that out in my truck. I have one of those ab roller things buried in a closet I think.

 

I'm the one with a whole shelf of canned food built under my bed lol. And the passenger seat is the kitchen. Electric skillet, instapot and water kettle. Underneath is a wooden box of 2" straps and extra gloves, my hand vac and trash can.
It's all priorities. Never enough room... like putting 10 lbs of stuff in a 5lb bag lol

 

A hard rain over time will get most of the body fluids up in truck parking areas. However, I would advise against doing exercises on any kind of pavement. I know a young man that cut his arm just above his left wrist in a parking area. Took 3 trips to the ER as well as several scripts of antibiotics to stop the infection he got as a result.

 

Workout at the shippers and rcvrs lots. Not the truckstop. Nasty.

 

You wouldn't believe some of the nasty stuff I pour or leave in the truck stop parking lot . I dare you to stick your face down there

 

Before this Covid crap I would uber or bobtail to planet fitness or local boxing gyms depending on city . I carry Jump rope and boxing gear . If I ran 10 days I probably got 3 to 4 workouts in , in a pinch I would pop open the trailer doors and Jump rope 10 minutes straight , 50 pushups and 50 crunches. Ppl who say it can be done usually have made up their mind and honestly have no intention of working out , you either have the drive and energy or you dont . For me physical health and mental health go hand and hand together. When I make it home I converted half my garage into a gym , Olympic bench and treadmill along with yoga mats and punching bag . Goodluck

 

I tend to do most all of my workouts at rest areas. I do push-ups on grass with gloves, literally the gloves and my shoes are the only things touching the ground. I've done this while docked as well.

We can think of a million reasons for not being active. Sometimes you just have to be creative.
