Truck Driver Workouts

10-minute workouts you can do next to your rig.

Band and bodyweight routines built for OTR truck drivers. No gym. No weights. Just short workouts that fit inside your DOT break — and actually get you through your next physical.

10 minutes, done at the rest stop

Every routine fits inside a DOT-mandated break. No gym membership, no detour.

Built around your rig

Uses your bumper, cab, and a $10 resistance band. Nothing else to buy, nothing to store.

Trucker workout FAQ

Can I really work out inside or next to my truck?+

Yes. Every Cab-Fit routine uses your bumper, the cab, and one resistance band. No gym, no dumbbells, no floor space beyond a parking spot.

How long does a workout take?+

Between 8 and 15 minutes. They fit inside a 30-minute DOT break with time left over for the bathroom and a stretch.

What equipment do I need?+

One resistance band ($10 on Amazon, or wait for the Cab-Fit band kit). Some routines are bodyweight-only.

Will this help me pass my DOT physical?+

The DOT Prep Circuit is programmed for the two things that fail drivers most — blood pressure and weight. Consistent short cardio plus a lower-sodium diet is the pattern that works.

How often should I do a workout?+

3–5 times a week is the sweet spot. Even 10 minutes a day beats one gym session on your home time.
