what's your motivation?

I feel the same way the things I enjoy doing when not driving require me to be in shape.
Before driving I shod horses for 11 years and that helped keep me in shape!!

 

I Try to eat less salt, this has several benefits including reducing water retention in my joints.

Also salt is not good for blood pressure,, Staying away from it will help a little as most of the food we eat has so much salt already.

I'm lucky that my sleeper is a 84 inch so im able to do situps with a little help using a resistance tube. a bit like a bungee cord but made for exercising.

Plus I take 1x multi-vitimin and 2x fish oil capsules everyday.

I try to walk everyday for at least 30 min. I sort of miss the days of flat-bedding it kept me more active. Since I worked out how to close the Trailer doors I have moved on.

 

While it's hard for truckers and shift workers, it sure isn't impossible. I work 14 hours a day, sometimes 18, but I still get in workouts.

Staying fit and strong is important to my job and it's my healthy insurance!

I prepare my meals and take food with me in coolers where ever I go in advance.

I'm also a Figure Competitor and will be competing in Las Vegas in November, so I am a FANATIC when it comes to health and fitness. (I got a long way to go, though!)

HERE'S TO YOUR HEALTH! XOXO

 

First of all I don't want to become a big fat ####, and I don't want my man to want to run off with some skinnier girl. I want to be able to wear nice clothes without fat rolls hanging out.

Secondly I am concerned about my health, I am a health food fanatic (thanks to my mom and all her natural heath classes) I don't want to get diabetes or a heart attack.

When I am working I am always on the go running pretty hard, 700 miles a day, 16+ hour days. I mostly eat light meals out of my fridge as I really don't have time to stop for meals, but if I did fortunatly there are some good places up here to eat good real food instead of fast food. I will eat out once per week, on my last run, since I don't have time the rest of the week.

When I am home on the weekends I am very active, I bike ride, hike and canoe and kayak, and I also weight train so I keep in pretty good shape.

When you have job where you are sedentary all day (not just truckers but anyone who sits all day) you really need to change the way you eat, you don't need as many calories, forget the three heavy meals a day and just eat light snacks

 

I don't care how busy you are, I can always find an hour to get in some type of work out. Depending on the weather I might go and run, I also carry 25lb. dumbbells, and a jump rope. I will get in some type of physical activity at least 4 times a week. Over the last year and a half I have lost 40lbs. and have so much more energy now. I also haul over sized loads and heavy equiptment so throwing chains helps me burn a few extra calories.

 

I do it to keep in shape and impress all the supermodels that i run into on the road at truckstops.

 

SWEET! RunningMan!

Ya know, there really is no excuses not to work out at least a few times a week. I'm a fitness fanatic so I know I'm just weird. Jump rope is one of the best workouts for people who are pressed for time.

 

I love to swim. I am a member of the YMCA. I was on the swim team for 11 years. I also like volleyball and dancing as well...

 

My only motivation is women. I like checking out women, and would enjoy a return glance.
