Well I was so Bored last night I went and worked out and Ran tonght is no Different vice watching House or Law & Order or Cops or What ever Im going to go Work out and a run a few miles again.

To the couch potatoes out there. If you cant run you can walk and it is good for you.

Note this:

Saying I cant well cant never could.

Try there isnt no Try

You do or do not.

The choice is yours and yours alone. A Brisk walk if that is all you can do or a lite Jog or for those advanced A good run. Get your Heart Rate up for 45 min a day and You good to go.

By the way Ull loose weight too.

PS if you layiing in your bunk at night you can do cruches and it will also help trim that waist line.

Any hows it beats being a couch potato or truck seat computer Jockie or watching Reruns of House or COPS
have a safe one and have fun
Latter

If those truckers are running single then they got 10hours off to sleep eat and shower so they got at least 45 min to go work out. it takes 15 min to shower and 1 hour to eat that still leaves that leaves about 7 hours for sleep.
which is plenty.
By the way if your in a layover or on a weekend and or are in limbo it beats getting into trouble

I have a YMCA, max membership that is good at any "Y" in the country. I try to workout 2-3 times a week there and run/walk 2 days a week. I run a van single and while i don't follow any TOS, i can always find time to workout.

Of, and the showers at the "Y" are alot nicer and cleaner the at the "J".

Then there is the pool, and sauna, and sometimes a good pickup game of "hoops".

And alot of the suburban "Y" have parking lots big enough for a tractor, and some even a TT!!

Look into it, it is worth the effort!

Good Lord man ... spending an hour at the trough putting on the feedbag .... ?

... no wonder you need to workout .....

15 minutes tops ..... and only once per day .... otherwise you're just stuffing your face ....

Remember, gluttony is one of the seven deadly's ....

Oh wait a minute ..... I see .... you're eating for four ..... errr ... wait a minute .... five ? :eek:

that still leaves that leaves about 7 hours for sleep which is plenty.

For who ?

According to who ?

Funny thing .... individuals are individual ... just remember .... what ever might be good for Marv/Kev/IRT/Moose/Sybild ...... might not be what the doctor ordered for Mr. rlent .... no matter what all of you say.

yup, Had a guy like that at my church. Lifted weights and ran a lot. He could do lots of one handed pushups too. Man ... he really looked good. He went out for a five mile run and came home just in time to drop dead in the middle of the living room. Sure made a great looking 38 year old corpse. Me I'm old, I'm balding, I'm chubby, I'm even ugly .... But I'm OLD and happy

It's all in the genetics. If you have good genes you don't have to exercise to look good. Also, life is way too short to punish yourself with arbitrary diets and capricious exercise routines. I say "go all out" eat whatever you want and simply be happy. I mean, you can walk around and get some exercise, go home and cut the shrubs in your yard, even participate in a little bit of healthy "sexorcise" if you have viagra. But you should live your life to the fullest...as the future is uncertain.

I eat good food (sometimes too much) I smoke a couple packs of cigarettes a week, and occasionally I have a drink when i'm out of service. Why should I live like a health nut for 25 years just to be t-boned by a Swift driver merely to die in some emergency room? I sure as heck wish "paula dean" was my mother. :p I however may not have the same outlook on life when i'm hooked up to an ekg and breathing machine. lol, that's just my take on it all and I hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas.

Ok, yeap i do workout a bit at the "Y" when i feel the need. It ain't a regualar routine, but I do try to move around, walk, jog and sometimes "kick it up" to a full run, but for the most part I do it as much to keep active as much as the exercise.

Yeap we can all drop over dead even if we exercise, but hey, if you enjoy it, go for it!

And if any of you REALLY would like to workout at home, I just happen to be the owner of a storage locker full of fitness equipment!! (one of my businesses is a fitness center) Now I have made off with a few pieces for my home gym and my adult kids have also taken a few pieces, but there is still more then enough to setup a FEW nice home gyms!

So if anyone is interested, PM me, I'd bet that we could workout something, and im sure you all have the truck to haul it away!!!
