Step It Up: Park a bit farther from the rest stop entrance and give yourself a mini walking challenge. Those extra steps add up, and your heart will be cheering you on.
In-Cab Workouts: Turn your truck into a mini gym! Try some seated leg lifts, air punches, or shoulder rolls while you're parked. Your cab is your fitness playground!
Hydration Hustle: When you're hydrating (which you totally should be!), use it as a chance to stretch. Reach for that water bottle like you're grabbing victory, and get those arms moving.
