{"text":"What is your secret to being a hard-body like a young Marine in this generally lethargic occupation with seemingly very few semi-accessible gyms/fitness centers and precious-few roadside semi-accessible \"lean cuisine\" restaurants that cater to the Jack Lalanne/Euill Gibbons types of 18-wheels?\n\nA truck cab and sleeper berth is not a KITCHEN or gym!! It's not a HOUSE or even a Winnebago motorhome for living space.\n\nAs a driver, I would want to know where each and every semi-accessible gym and semi-accessible full-service restaurant with healthy menu choices is located wherever I may be tasked to take my loads. It would be nice to have GPS technology to even locate these kinds of places on trips like a heat-seeking missile. \n\nI understand some mega-carriers are actually committed to driver health and fitness.\n","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}

{"replyTo":"","text":"There are drivers that try to stay fit and active while OTR\nEating right on the road is not that difficult it just takes some planning. Bring your own food from home. Truck stops do have plenty of healthy options, Salads, hard boiled eggs, yogurt and other options. most drivers just do not chose to take advantage of the options available to them.\n","replyToPid":0}
