[wvcourier]

Can someone tell me if I should get a membership to YMCA or are the truckstop fitness centers a good way to stay fit OTR. are they open all night? Are they free? Are they common, or few and far between?

Few and far between, I would take a look at anytime fitness. I think you will find them.more widespread than the YMCA and you get a card for 24 hour access.

I use the t/a centers from time to time when i find them.

Carry some dumbells when you drive and park way out at truckstops and get you cardio by the walk/jog/run in.

In addition to walking, we carry resistance bands. Easy to store and we can customize our workout.

We stay away from the restaurants, too.

One good thing about a gym membership is that it's a free shower if you have no credits. Well, free if you'd have the membership otherwise. It's a perk on top of the other benefits.

Six times around the entire perimeter of most truckstops and WallyWorld parking lots. If it's hot, break the walk into 2 parts, half in the morning, half in the evening. While in Laredo, we do 2 times around the J, twice around Pilot, twice around T/A. Water...water water water...we humans tend not to drink enough plain, non-carbonated, unflavored, decaffeinated WATER.

Get a Ultra One fuel card from TA/Petro so that you can use their exercise rooms for free. They are slowly expanding these room and they are adding maps for walking trails.

I drive my truck from the back of the truck stop to the frot of the truck stop when I need to go inside. I do the same thing at Wal-Mart and look at the medical situation that i'm in now. I better do some more walking myself!

The Key is to not drop the two Cinnabuns as your walking fast pumping your ams.....Ive been walking a mile, riding 2-3 miles on my bike, Im not ready for the truck stop marathon, but if yopu see me sitting some time and you wanna walk let me know, its always better with someone to chat, Ive gained weight over the winter as always for about 10 years and Ive always been active in summer but as we age that spare tires has turned into something the STA PUFF man would be proud of....I do drink water or juice mostly, soda is gone, Goodbye Dr Pepper....Hello Aqua-Fina....
