41 days on the road doesn't mean 41 days off. Here's how we keep moving — gym, campsite, trail, or just a good stretch before sunrise.
Planet Fitness is $10/month and has locations everywhere. Anytime Fitness gives you a key fob that works at any location nationwide. One-day passes at local gyms are usually $5–15 and nobody cares that you're just passing through.
A 35 lb kettlebell fits behind the passenger seat and covers 90% of what you'd do in a gym. Add a jump rope and a flat piece of ground and you've got everything you need — at a campsite, a trailhead, or a rest stop.
3 rounds. Rest 90 seconds between rounds. Move at your own pace — the goal is to finish, not to impress anyone. If the KB feels too heavy on swings, do the goblet squat with two hands and skip the swing until you're comfortable.
4 rounds. Rest 60 seconds between rounds. This one moves faster — the combination of kettlebell and plyometric work will get your heart rate up quickly. Scale the jump movements to step movements if you're on uneven ground at a campsite.
You're already in places most people only see through a car window. Get out earlier than everyone else, set a timer instead of a distance goal, and just move. The views are better on foot anyway.
Long driving days lock up your hips, tighten your lower back, and cramp your shoulders. These are practical holds — no yoga mat required, no experience needed, no embarrassing poses at the campsite. Just stuff that works.
