Staying active as a truck driver

Updated October 2026

You don't need a gym to stay active.

Quick routines

Brisk walks around the lot during breaks, bodyweight moves like squats, push-ups against the trailer and lunges, and stretches for your back, hips and shoulders after long stretches of driving.

Make it stick

Tie exercise to something you already do, like every fuel stop. Even 10 to 15 minutes a day helps.
