Road Trip Fitness
Over the past month, I have become a huge fan of all things Crunch. Hell, I’d better be, given that my membership costs me $81 a month. Besides, working out is easy when you have a place to go and people to do it with.
A few people have asked me how Chris and I plan to stay fit while we’re on the road. A good question, indeed. Here’s what we’ve come up with so far:
Road Trip Fitness Plan v1
by Jaime and Chris
- Cargo van calisthenics. Whoever is not driving will be required to do jumping jacks in the back of the van the entire time. One bathroom break every two hours is permitted but must be performed via an open window.
- Roadside kickboxing. Every hour, on the hour, we’ll pull the car over to the side of the freeway and break into a kickboxing routine for ten minutes.
- Passenger seat yoga. Bonus points for managing to pull off downward dog without reclining the seat.
- Interstate jogathon. The person not driving will run alongside the car during rush hour traffic. Thankfully, in Los Angeles, this part of the fitness plan can be executed around the clock.
Thank god we’re eating local. Otherwise, we’d return to San Francisco looking like before pictures from The Biggest Loser.

I’m big on yoga when traveling. Helps your body recover from being crammed into a car seat for x hours, and all you need is a mat and maybe a little audio player with whomever leading you through the poses on it. The mat’ll set you back $15 and you can find yoga podcasts for free.
Haha, I love this. I hope there will be video.
PS: Still so jealous of Crunch!
We can hit Crunch together in NY. There’s one next to my office.
I just traded in my gym membership for the Total Gym. That’s right, from the Chuck Norris infomercial. Effective, all while watching good morning america.
