Using the RV as our fitness playground

   When we first moved into the RV, one of my goals was to continue promoting fitness and staying fit and healthy myself. As I have mentioned in other posts, I do have a set of the BowFlex weights, and being a personal trainer has helped me be extremely creative with my workouts. I've began looking at the RV and what it has to offer to expand my workouts. The ladder in the back are great for using the TRX, or if you don't have one, you can just do rows by holding onto either side of the ladder. Most campsites have picnic tables, so I've been using that for step ups, Bulgarian split squats, or "box" jumps, just to name a few. The best part is having all the space outside to do burpies, walking lunges, cardio drills, or anything your heart desires!

       Any time we live near a gym, we will take advantage of using that until we move again. I've noticed that I have never lost muscle or strength when I do have the chance to use the gym, and I do measure my body fat percentage every month to make sure I'm staying on track. I focus on doing 20 minutes/day with high intensity, whether it is cardio or weight lifting, and I will usually take a day off to enjoy a nice long walk with the pups and Rich. 

       Now don't get me wrong here, it is not like I just do 20 minutes of exercise and the rest of the time I'm just sitting on the couch. I am constantly moving, taking the pups out for their many walks, organizing, and cleaning. Just being with them outside while they are tied up is quite the task! It requires me to constantly untangle them, play with them, make sure they aren't digging or eating grass. I must look like the crazy dog lady to my neighbors;). Dogs are just like kids!!

     I will be posting some workouts and healthy tips on the fitness page now that I'm starting to figure out how to create new pages on my blog (this can be quite complicated, and it is not my forte haha). If you have any questions about the workouts feel free to leave a comment, and I will be happy to help out.
