How would you incorporate exercise equipment?

I would be more interested in increased storage so that I can bring the exercise equipment I want to bring. But, that's just me.

 

My exercise equipment consists of a pair of walking shoes. Do some laps around the truckstop whenever you can.

 

An exercise partner would be most beneficial, perhaps a very "warm" female who travels with me and pays me to be there!

 

Need none i get plenty excerize by flying off the handel, jumping outa truck or trl,pushinging boxs or skids on on those carboard slip sheets, or taking top two layers off and restacking on new pallet, and do my squats by doing that and then for good measure , my dispacth yells at me too get going now for next load now and his yelling at me get my blood pressure up and then i go get lost by his drections and now im in a cathloic church parking lot now with all the nuns looking at me , o -ya my blood pressure real high now Everett.

 

In the trucking movie "over the top" stallone installed some pull down cables in his cab to exercise his arms while driving. It was a trucking/arm wrestling movie.

 

I use to bring my exercise ball, a few hand weights, jump rope and my mat. Plus a lot of walking. That always did it for me. Make the right choices when you stop to eat. I have gone from 190lb's to 155lb's and I'm very proud of myself. I also used an all natural diet pill called Japan Hokkadio. It really helped me a lot. It stops your body from absorbing fat, it curbed my appetite, and gave me energy with out making me feel like I was on speed. My body felts so healthy on them. I have friends and relative's that take them as well and have had grate results. You lose the weight slowly. Not fast. Your body is not meant to lose weight so fast. Any ways it would be nice to have more room for the things I use.

 

Perhaps a stair climber, or tread climber that could recess or be flush with the floor when not in use.
Drivers sit on their butts all day, 20 minutes of stair climbing pumps good blood flow to the butt and legs, improves circulation all the way to the toes. Use it or lose it, sit on your butt long enough and that's all you can ever do.

 

I would say space is really the biggest concern. As has been stated, those of us who are interested in exercise bring our own equipment. For drivers who aren't interested, putting a pullup bar in a truck is not going to make them use it. Just give me room to move and I'll be able to take it from there.

I need to be able to extend my arms fully up without hitting the roof and fully out without bumping into cupboards or seats. Having enough overhead room to step up onto a stool without hitting my head is good and having enough space between the bunks to do situps without hitting my head is good, too. I would use a pullup bar if it were there, but I'm not going to whine about not having one. I just want space.

 

The equipment should be portable. Truckers are notorious for lower back problems so things to strengthen the lower back are good. A portable situp bar or maybe a place to hook up exercise bands. I had a thought of making my own platform to stand on and attach bungee cords to it to do arm curls, standing presses, squats, and waist bends. It's a work in process.
