Question:
“How do you guys incorporate exercise on a regular basis with your RV lifestyle?” – Desiree
Answer:
That’s a hot topic issue for us. Jennifer is an exercise addict. She tries to find local gyms in the areas we visit. Plus, of course, there’s hiking, lots of walks with Bo, and some basic exercises like sit-ups, pushups, and squats that you can do in or out of the RV.
Exercise bands (those little elastic bands) are a great way to do resistance training.
On travel days, we try to stop every hour and a half to walk around the RV and not be sitting too long.
Here is a helpful resource for those who prefer gym workouts instead of (or in addition to) exercising out in nature…
5 Best Gyms for Travelers

Camping doesn't always equal physical activity. And many RVers must be mindful of their health while traveling, especially if they RV often or full-time.
It's too easy to over-indulge while RVing, thinking that short hike will make up for all the chips and soda you just consumed. But “vacation eating” can quickly outweigh “vacation exercise.”

I created a portable Pilates routine that I carry with me: mat, ropes that. Can carefully attach to a tree, balls, weights, Pilates circle. It’s the closet I can get to a reformer workout!
Sounds like a great plan!
Easy! I’m an outdoor enthusiast. All outdoor things: hiking, biking, kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, power walking, etc. I don’t find it difficult at all, and I’m a 65yo woman. I’m no campground “sitter”..lol
I take my iPad and find workout videos on YouTube. I will set up under our trailer awning or in the campground rec room if they have one. Also lots of hiking with our dogs!
