THE 7 RULES OF ON-THE-ROAD FITNESS
Of the two charts above, you’ll notice that the one on the top, which monitors the metabolism of a typical long-haul truck driver over a 24-hour period, is largely flat. Except for a few spikes when he may have been pumping diesel or walking into KFC, that driver could be dead. “Most drivers I work with are sedentary almost 23 hours a day,” says Siphiwe Baleka, who’s a Yale grad, Ironman triathlete, Masters swimming champion, and former driver, and now the driver fitness coach at Prime Inc., a 5,400-truck firm, and Boschee’s employer.

What’s sobering is that you don’t need to be hauling cargo to have a metabolic profile like that. Cruising the Web all day from behind a desk expends no more energy than cruising the interstate. Baleka’s job is daunting. Truckers have deadlines, so finding time to exercise or search for healthy food (which is like trying to find a shirt with sleeves at a truck stop) can be a challenge. But since he launched his 13-week driver health and fitness program at Prime in July 2012, Baleka reports that 131 drivers have graduated and lost an average of 19 pounds apiece. He says another 500 drivers who are not in the program but who’ve been influenced by his education efforts lost an average of 10 pounds each. Last summer he even staged a “Fittest of the Fleet” competition, in which Boschee finished second.

Baleka uses seven simple strategies to encourage results:

  1. No matter what, exercise 15 minutes every day. It doesn’t have to happen in a gym, and you don’t need a formal plan.

  2. Make each workout vigorous. “Maintain 75 to 85 percent of max heart rate,” explains Baleka, who did his Ironman training during a year when he drove 150,000 miles in 323 days. “This maximizes fat burning and, more important, your time.”

  3. Work multiple muscle groups simultaneously. He gives drivers a list of 32 exercises they can combine for total-body workouts.

  4. Always eat after working out. The latest research says 20 grams of fast-acting protein (for instance, whey isolate powder) eaten within 30 minutes of exercising is best for building muscle.

  5. Eat breakfast, and then eat every three hours. This keeps hunger at bay and prevents bingeing late in the day.

  6. Keep healthy snacks handy. When traveling, the tendency is to eat what’s available, so make only good food available.

  7. Log your nutrition and fitness. Keeping a daily food and exercise journal makes weaknesses easy to spot. Baleka makes this simpler by giving every driver a Mio heart rate monitor and BodyMedia armband activity monitor.

So how does a guy implement these rules when his schedule changes daily and he’s at the mercy of the road?

porridge for breakfast , fills you up for longer

I start to fade about 11 if I don’t have porridge!

Usually a porridge sachet, fruit pot, small bread roll and a coffee for me.

I have no idea if this thread is even about breakfast after seeing the OP but I thought I’d tell everyone anyway.

It is about Breakfast.
Especially Years before i got Diabetes i was looking into Food which gives me Energy,but rather helps loosing Weight rather then getting Fat.
Best Result is boiling Water,half Soup-cube and Porridge. As Tea either Fruit Tea or one Week a Month a cup Sting Nettle Tea.
But remember:" Sting-nettle Tea may lower Blood Pressure

Is there a decent brand of instant Porridge you can make with hot water?

Everyone I have tried has been a diabolical stodgy mess.

Nope they all the same rob I just add a little more water too thin it out a little

I just washed a custard filled doughnut down with a cup of extra strong coffee. Sorted :smiley:

Your trying to hard to write in broken English. A more cynical person might think you were a native English speaker and just pretending…

This.
If he was really an “Immigrant” he wouldn’t have bothered with all his opening crap and just said…
Breakfast
Toasted pike for breakfast served with some Tyskie.
Snack
Cold leftover swan served with Tyskie.
Lunch
Rye bread (slightly stale) with a carp steak filling served with Tyskie.
Dinner
Pike and (just half inched from the field) carrot soup.
Roasted swan stuffed with food bank vegetables in a vodka marinade.
Value brand ice cream with a serving of Tyskie.

He isn’t who he pretends to be, it’s blindingly obvious he is some pathetic poster who for some reason writes in broken English that no true immigrant would ever speak.

When is he going pre-mod mods for his blatant trolling?? :arrow_right: :question:

I use Quaker cuppa porridge, a bit more water than recommended and its fine for me. Only downside is it makes a mess of your mug.

They were on special a few weeks ago for a quid.

when I was driving I had 2 issues - 1 crap choice at services etc. so normally ended up with something not quite right ( fry up cob etc.) 2. when starting at 3/4 am I never fancied brekky at this time so tried to take Weetabix etc. with me then I often arrived at a drop at breakfast time so didn’t eat it, actually most of my time driving I would be lucky to eat breakfast.

same when I was on nights - I normally woke up had a main meal and went arse about ■■■ until finishing and having my breakfast.

McD is a burger bar. They are famous for their burgers. Not really known for their sausage batches they ain’t.

(McD sausage does not contain any sausage…)

If scientists claims are correct, that each slice of bacon you eat takes 9 minutes off your life, then by my calculations most truck drivers should have Died sometime around 1732
