A while ago, we asked you guys what exercise you did on the road. Remember this question:
“Serious question for all the truckers out there. What exercise (if any) do you do on the road, whether in the cab or at stops?”
Well, thanks for all your responses. It turns out that quite a few of you out there are working out while driving truck. And I didn’t guess about this, but a lot of you are thinking about what you eat and considering health that way, too.
Cory Mac Donald I keep a clean diet on the road 90% of the time. I’ve lost 25 pounds living full time in the truck. The key to staying healthy on the road is 90%diet and 10%exercise. With that said I do exercise everyday. Outside I use my chalk blocks as free weights. I use lots of bungee cords for resistance. Squats, pushups and crunches inside the truck. I sometimes use the hood for weight as well.
Jw Layfield As a driver who can’t drive because of diabetes. Drivers need to keep up with there health, do what you can to exercise everyday!I’ve lost 100lbs and got an a1c reading of 8.5 down from 12 plus. I’m not giving up I miss that road. I will be back soon.here’s an idea gyms in truck stops would help some it’s your choice. Get it done or loose your physical card
Austin Pendleton I have a strict diet, 1800 calories, 60g fat, 120g carbs and 180g protein. I do circuit work outs as such.
James Anthony Rush Push-ups and taekwondo.
Jer Srebro Mostly just punching the ceiling and steering wheel while in traffic.
Christopher Whitfield Resistance bands like these. Lots of push ups, sit ups and body weight squats.
Raymond Nava Yoga!!
Bob B Holt I jump to conclusions and run at the mouth.
Terry Tank I lift beer glasses.
Joe Jackson Tarping, strapping, placing dunnage.
Well, a range there, but exercising in the cab, as well as exercising their smart glutes muscles seems to be the key! Anyone wanting some starting points can also check out Healthy Trucker’s YouTube.
