I have given some though to what to carry on the road to keep in shape. I'm mostly interested in running and Martial Arts. I have it narrowed down to running shoes, a jump rope, a kettlebell, power bands and my grips.
Shoes, of course, are good for any activity, running, walking, jumping rope, weight lifting, really anything you do. The jump rope can be used instead of running or walking when you can't leave the vicinity of the truck, you are short on time, warm ups or a change of pace. Kettlebells are a good substitute for free weights. You can perform certain exercises in your sleeper. Along with the power bands you can do some really good strenghtening exercises.
My grips are Martial Arts specific. In Hapkido there are many techniques that require a strong grip or even help you resist someone performing these techniques on you. I use them while driving.
I, also, carry my staff. It doubles as a tool, a chain or strap pusher. It is not readily identified as a weapon. Occasionally, I carry my wooden sword. I guess I have to be careful carrying that into Canada. I understand Canadian officials don't have much of a sense of humor about such things.
Well, that's my routine, I'm wondering what the rest of you do. Unless, you consider a 16 onunce curl and the buffet waddle exercise!
