Get Your Body Moving

Strength training mistakes happen, and they could be keeping you from seeing progress. Nobody likes putting in the effort and not noticing results over time. It can be demotivating, and sometimes even dangerous. While some of these strength training mistakes are more impeding than others, it’s worth brushing up on all of them to make sure you’re in the green.

Whether you’re brand new to resistance training or it’s been a year or two (or ten!) since you last trained, these basic explanations will help you get the motivation to start up.

Strength training is outrageously good for you. We rely on it so much, that it is our preferred form of exercise, and believe it to be the most beneficial of all of the forms out there.

There are several healthy habits that you can (and should) implement immediately to feel your best. Creating a daily routine can be difficult. But when you find your groove, nothing will feel better!

Walking tours are our top recommendation for getting out and exploring a new city.  We always schedule our tours for one of the first couple of days upon arriving somewhere new.  This way, you get the lay of the land right from the start and learn any local secrets so you don’t miss the good stuff! 

Biking is a great option for sightseeing and transportation in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. You will also sneak in some exercise at the same time. It is especially great on Wednesdays during the summer (May 4- Sept 28) when the road is closed to vehicular traffic. 

During the summer the area is alive with activity.  There are numerous festivals, sporting events, and concerts throughout the season. On any given day you’ll find people hiking, trail running, biking, and floating down the river.  And all of this is available right from downtown Durango, with no long car rides to get to the fun stuff!

Many frequent travelers and full-time RVers considered purchasing a nationwide gym membership to keep up with their fitness on the road.  Hotel gyms and RV park gyms can often be incomplete, inconsistent, and unreliable. 

RVing with dogs, is there a health benefit? There’s got to be some truth behind the saying “man’s best friend,” and who doesn’t need a good friend these days? But can one of these furry friends actually improve your health? We think so, especially for RVers.  The road can be a lonely place; the scenery is always changing and so are the faces. RVing with dogs allows you to share your big adventure with someone, and let’s face it- it gives you someone to talk to. 

Yoga for beginners doesn’t need to be intimidating. And when you learn how it relates to RV life, you may wonder what you waited for. We’ve all seen the Instagram posts of yoga poses in beautiful places. While it’s true that it can be fun to strike a pose somewhere scenic and inspiring, that’s not really what yoga on the road looks like.
