How do OTR drivers go to the gym???

Working out on the road is possible but challenging. I can get by with dumbells only and have a way to do chins/pullups on the back of the tractor. Pushups in the truck for chest work get me me by until home on the weekends for reset and can go to the gym. Daily routine allows me to stop for my break and workout and then shower at the truck stop. I am trying to do more cardio (running and jump rope) given the sedentary nature of driving to avoid gaining weight but diet is the key. Bottom line is you have to limit calories or you will gain weight driving no matter how much working out you do.

 

If I were I would look for a local gig because what you asking now I'm not gonna say its impossible however these shopping center where the gym might be located most of they are not a friendly truck places . it would hard to find a parking with 65 to 73 feet monster.

 

I remember I used to work out nearly every day so I had this same question when I was new. I remember still trying to workout hard during my hometime. I find myself working out less and less over the years. I still occasionally do bicep curls but not the full workout like I used to where I had hard abs.

 

Never did get the wash board abs but I sure tried to ....
These days if I work out at all its for health care .... Lol

 

Just do flatbed and you will be driving a mobile gym. You don't see fat flatbed drivers.

 

Check this dude out, i met him while i was at tmc. Hes even bigger since the video and he swears by this workout

Go to work for United Van Lines
Allied van lines
Mayflower
They move household contents. The drivers stay in hotels.

You can also go to work in Food Service such as Sysco

 

You can bring anything into the truck you can fit or buy. If working out is important, and working out for some is weights and some its cardio, bring it with you.
