Come On Truckers! Let's Do It!

This is a shout out to my fellow truckers who may be lurking on the site. Let's do it!

I parked at the Flying J here on I-71 north of Columbus Ohio this afternoon. I immediately got out and did a quick 16 minute walk (.75 mile) just to stretch my legs.

Over the course of the time I have been here today I have spotted no less than four other truckers out walking and exercising. One was even carrying dumbbells as he walked. As I was doing my 2 mile after dinner walk I lapped another driver out doing the same thing.

I would love to see more of my fellow drivers out in the parking lots of the truck stops getting active and getting healthier. Maybe we can start a new trend! Come on guys and gals, let's do it!

That is awesome, you guys! My husband and I stop at Flying J a lot in California; we do a lot of road trips. I've often though how challenging it must be to maintain a healthy weight when you are sitting behind the wheel for so long. I've never noticed any truckers here walking, so good for you!
