- TMC driver, Bryan Celestine is back in a much requested follow-up video to his very successful fitness debut! Living a fit and clean life as an OTR driver is absolutely possible.
As Bryan would say, "If it's important to you, you will make time for it!"
You can view his earlier video, here; • How to maintain a heal...
Im a TMC driver and I often do workouts on and around the trailer. Even when I'm out walking/jogging at a rest area getting at least 4 miles when I can. We need more vids like this to motivate our drivers to think outside the truck stops in more ways to eat healthier and stay more active while on the road.
lgpugh36 I am just starting TMC and looking to stay fit and even reach some new fitness goals while on the road. Would like to connect.
I run at rest stops as well. Gives you that boost of energy, and awareness on long hauls.
Motivation is fickle. You need to become discipline.
I'm a female driver and been thinking of making videos for different lifestyle eating for truckers- vegetarian, vegan, clean, etc... its good to know truckers are looking for this info!
That’s not safe or healthy dude your company doesn’t care about you
TMC better give you a raise. Any company would be happy to find a hard working dedicated driver that's in shape and has a very professional attitude with great communication and well spoken.
there is no salary, its a performance based company the more you put in the more goes into your pocket.
Slumpdog if they increase the percentage you get per load that’s a raise
@@orlandohorta594 i know as i said its performance based
Slumpdog all jobs are performance base there are still raises for all jobs
Slumpdog just admit you were wrong
I’m a TMC wife... buying your man an instant pot can really help him eat healthy on the road.
Mercy Hesed what an instant pot?
Waiting for my company to put an inverter in my truck
Do you mean a 12V lunchbox meal heater?
Mercy Hesed I’m going to get one I’m a trucker and I been writing out stuff I need for road that will make my life on road much better
How's the pay?
I'm a truck driver, I eat healthy drink water , no pops or soda , I don't eat fast food , I buy cans of tuna, chicken and all type of beans , I do pushups a lot when I'm on the road, You can hit most of Your upper body muscles with different type of pushups, do crunches and I even got a 6 packs
and when I'm home its lef day , Good luck
Where do you do your crunches ? I don't want to lay a mat out on a nasty truck parking lot
Kevin S your cab or if you don’t want your back on the concrete then do planks very easy to activate those core muscles that way
How do you cardio?
@@whysosyria1 on my 10 hours rest ,I run for 30 minutes or so ,if the truck stop is big enough thats even better ,once or twice a week is enough for me and if I get home that's plus
@@Troymatti I'm thinking about going to swift or TMC in a week. I already have my CDL. What was your experience as a new driver with their company?
Brother you sound like a qualified Marine. I'm glad I watched this video because you answered just about all of my doubts and worries about being on the road. I am a retired military veteran just in the beginning stages of trucking. Like I said I was very skeptical about doing this fearing I could fall into the trap of living an unhealthy lifestyle. This video definitely is a reassurance that truckers could live a healthy life with discipline and determination. Thanks for sharing!
Captain Linton, as you were watching them do push-ups, being prior military, did you have the same thought I had? One, one, one..........
Thank you all taking the time to watch ny video ! I truly have a passion for working out and maintaining a healthy lifestyle! I hope this motivates some of u and others get helpful tips and pointers! I m an over the road truck driver doing my best ! #foreversolid #blessed #stayfocused
Bryan Celestine thx for the inspiration I am gonna get a better grasp on my health because of looking at your video
Would you be interested in giving presentations to other trucking companies on how their truckers could maintain their health? Thanks
Bryan Celestine. Would you give me some sort of contact info please. I would like to talk with you, about getting my setup together, particular workout bodybuilding type questions
Thank you👍

Hello Seans how are you doing today
I'm in school to become a truck driver. This video is very helpful for me to get in and stay in shape. Thanks
I'm just about to start OTR all I can think of is family and gym time lol
Planet fitness... They are all over the country
Percy Sherrod yesh but Uber fees will kill ya, can you just drive your company truck?
Z Winn won’t matter if you can drive it, it’s will they let you park there
Hello Jason how are you doing today
Thank you for sharing Bryan. LOVE THIS!!! Hubby is a trucker and I make 95% of his food to take on road. The loss of exercise is my main concern. But you show that it CAN be done.
I hope you do more videos as you come through crisp...clean...and clear! Thank you.
i used to be a trucker and this dude is partially right, eating good foods in caloric deficit can get you leaner for a while but after you will stuck whatever you eat, so eating 4 times a day might not be the best way to go, I would say 1 is the best that worked for me, thats called intermittent fasting if anybody get plateau-ed then thats the best scenario
johnnyhun1 been fasting for almost 3 years now. Whenever you feel hungry, it’s just a mental thing.
I wake up at 0430 where ever I'm at, truck stop, rest area, place of delivery and I set my mat and dumbbells on the ground and I do an hour of HIIT (high intensity interval training) followed by 500 push ups, 3 sets of 33 reps. That ads up to 495 so at the end I do 5 single push ups to equal 500. Thats how I start every day Monday through Friday while over the road. Since I'm home every weekend I have a home gym and I still wake up at 0430 but on top of doing my morning HIIT. I also do strength training through out the day and get some running or cycling. I train 7 days a week. Sunday I train but is more of an active recovery type of training. I also pack my meal prep for the week. I eat super lean and clean. No fast food, no soda or juice. Lean meats good fats, some carbs and alot of water. It ain't hard to stay in shape over the road. You just have to be discipline. I've trained in the rain, snow and scorching heat. My regiment is solid.
This is amazing !! Love your story brother
Changing my career from corrections to trucking. I like how you train first thing because when you finish your shift - no matter how tired you are, you trained in the Morning
Praying to follow your footsteps 🙏🏽
3 sets of 33 reps is 99. H9wbdo you get to 495 from that? Using that new Common Core math?
Love the passion though! As an OTR driver myself that's training for 5 Ironman's this year...the benefits of HIIT are priceless!
What a knowledgeable guy..humble too...
I'm personal trainer and physical education professor and I'm impressed!
Hello how are you doing today
Wow what a great guy. So upbeat and positive. TMC is lucky to have and the other guys.
Hello Michael how are you doing today
I see TMC trucks all the time running through my home state
Not only should he take pride in his personal health achievements while being out on the road but also, his choice in doing this respect to everyone else out there. Truck drivers run many risks of being accident proneif not in good physical condition. In my opinion he not only deserves respect for himself,but everyone else he is also benefitting by his choices out there and sharing some things to try.Truck drivers are always needed and they are on the road most of the time, the choices he has made are goingvto help with falling asleep heart attacks,general alertness are always things that can affect a truck driver and cause or be in a fatal accident . Best wishes to this guy and thanks for the advice on things to try and do. Very imprssive!
Man what another great and motivating video by TMC and Byran . I thank yall for the this . It's truly inspiring . Can't wait to make positive changes for my life and others around me .
I’m not even a truck driver but this seems important.
THIS IS VERY HELPFUL SPECIALLY CUZ OF THOSE TRUCK STOPS. REALLY REALLY EXPENSIVE!! THANKS FOR THE HELP AND THE TIPS. MOTIVATION AT IS 100%
Just finding this video and just wanted to say thanks to TMC for taking the time to make this video. Bryan has a lot of great ideas that I can use. I've been driving for a little over three years and I've gained at least 30lbs from poor food choices and lack of exercise. About to go shopping now so it's time to make healthier choices. Be safe out there.
Thank you guys for the info
Keep in mind y’all that everyone has different genetics, also keep in mind gender and age. I’ve been living that truck driver life for 15yrs... when we (my team driver) started I was 20 he was 21 and I was able to eat subway everyday and very stay lean (mind you I was probably a “skinny fat” thin on the outside, very unhealthy on the inside) but now I really have to restrict myself on eating ANY kind of rice, bread, potatoes, corn, etc, being a female in my 30’s it’s not as easy as a males lifestyle. You also might want to eliminate most sugary drinks on a day to day basis. If I am craving a little fizz I drink a flavored sparkling water with 0sugar added. Every now and then I do enjoy a Body Armor drink, but try not to make it a every day thing. I’m really glad to see more of my fellow drivers choosing a more healthier lifestyle out here on the road but we are definitely a stereotype. I wish they would take out the game rooms in the truck stops and add in a free weight room for drivers. We are a big part if not the biggest part that keeps the world moving so good health should be the number one priority and the truck stops need to take into consideration what kind of food places and amenities they have for their main source of money flow, THE TRUCK DRIVERS!
I wondered why there aren't fitness rooms at truck stops. Hell there's already a shower.
in the late 90's and early 2000s, some truck stops started putting in exercise equipment, nobody used them, or they misused them and got tore up. Free weights went missing, etc. I'm 62 still driving, just had my DOT and passed no problems, I exercise everyday, keying down on cardio, and not losing muscle mass. It's a lot harder at 62 than it was a 40 lol
@@garyharrison8891A weighted ruck vest would be a good investment. You can put what weight you want in the vest whether it’s 45 or 60 etc. You just have to know how to fit them correctly for them to work properly. I use mine daily with my dog, 3 mile walk everyday and I burn as many calories I would as if I were running.
What A Very helpful video.
Glad to see true professionals
In this line of work! Great Job from
Everyone involved.
Hello Matthew how are you doing today
I'm so glad to have found this video. I'm looking to start with TMC in the near future and have been concerned with what to eat to stay healthy, or get healthier. Thanks a lot!
Brother, outstanding video I'm looking forward to getting started to my lifestyle. Thanks for the advice
please add a gym to your truck stops...I would buy a membership for sure...
Hello Johnny how are you doing today
He is so Army!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!
VERY GOOD CONTENT...!!!
GOD speed Bryan and safe travels...!!!
Great video. Thank u
You can do basically everything you need to do with some resistance bands and your trailer. I also keep an incline rowing machine(4ft long) on my top bunk I use.
Love this Video. I was once worked for TMC as a Pre loader.
I'm very proud of you!!
this looks like just what I need to help with staying healthy and fit. thanks so much maybe I will see ya on the road.
Hello billy how are you doing today
Thanks Brian, doing research to see how I can help my husband over the road. It's so nice that you have a microwave and pre-cooked foods and pre-portioned foods.
This is so inspirational 🙏
Very motivating
Lol me and this guy are like spirit twins....down to trucking/fitness habits, being body builders, getting planet fitness memberships due to the convenience.....etc....
Love the video. Great advice to the guys out here
Do you have good luck training on the road? I start trucking school in a week. I train most days at anytime fitness. Would like to keep training. Thanks!
Awesome video bro about to start otr driving for Stevens and worried about my health while out on the road very helpful thanks a lot
Thank you so much, I just got my CDL a few days ago and my biggest concern was nutrition. This was extremely instructional and helpful.
Hello Robert how are you doing today
Good stuff!!
I do step ups on my truck steps, really great cardio
Bro you are a inspiration
I started doing some of the stuff not because I was worried about gaining weight, because I've always been a big guy, but because it got so expensive eating in the truck stops and by accident I realized that I was losing weight. This guy's pretty impressive and I love his attitude. The chicken, the wraps and the protein is something I've never thought of before and I really appreciate this man giving me a heads up on it, will definitely incorporate this into my meals. Thank you, great video.
Hello Wyatt how are you doing today
Appreciate your time and heads up ,longing to join you very soon ☺️
This is the video I've been looking for since I started with Beelman 3 years ago
Great info!
Great video
Water, I have a lime squeezer and try to grab fresh water in my bottles, no sugar or chemicals still it livens up the flavor.
Look into mini instant pot, 3qt, fresh cooked chicken is awesome, you can use it as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, or an open pot.
Great Inspirational Video!!!
Hello Jeff how are you doing today
Great video, I did this years ago, and still do it today. I can't stand being overweight, and it's happened a couple times. At 62 I still maintain a daily work out routine, and cook my meals out on the road. Like Bryan I take protein supplements, and key down on lots of cardio. I also spend a lot of time stretching. The ham strings can really tighten up from sitting in one position most of the day, when you do it day after day, year after year. Spending time stretching your whole body, can relieve a a lot of the body stress from sitting so long
True although if you want to save time the best thing to stretch would be the hips.
Damn excellent video everything well explain and for free
Solid advice I really want to go to TMC
I drive for a different company but I've learned alot from tmc drivers from tips on securing different types of cargo to now eating better
These are great recipe ideas!
Good stuff bro !!
This guy is a BEAST!! #SomethingofthatNature props!
Hello Andrew how are you doing today
I already starting eating healthier with the help of the weight watchers app, lost 60#'s in a little under a year. I just started working out and studying for my CDL permit. I eat tuna packets with a variety of tortilla shells 3 times a week to change things up. Hopefully get cut before I get out on the road. Thanks for the insight-thanks for sharing and keep on truckin. 😎
Hello Geoff how are you doing todauv
I got the same stuff in my truck.I’m also into fitness…..THATS CRAZY
I'm actually going from teaching middle school science to trucking myself. Talk about extreme changes in your career path huh? I work out myself and was worried about finding the time to work out, along with worries of gaining weight on the road. This was excellent. I plan on going to JTL trucking school in Omaha in July of this year (2018). Been seeing some great reviews on this company. TMC seems like a great company, and letting their drivers make these videos is pretty cool. I may be looking into coming TMCs way this summer if they will have me. However, you never can tell what the future holds. Great video man!
Sounds great, James! We look forward to hearing from you.
Hello James how are you doing today
This is amazing !! Changing my career from corrections to truck driving. Are you still driving ?
Inspirational!
Hello Brandon how are you doing today
Great insight dude.
Cuh on the plantation fo TMC. Balee dat!
On small boats in the Navy we would put our cans of soup on the water cooled exhaust manifolds 🥰
And the MRE meat packets 💙🇺🇸
I’m loving this I’m an obese guy who’s lost 45lbs through CrossFit but I’m about to go to driving school I’m glad to see truckers trying to be healthy... I’m researching I have a jump rope and kettle bells and resistance bands and foldable step
Hello Jeffrey how are you doing today
A job lower your fat significantly and increased fruits and vegetables.. also cut out ALL processed foods
This guy is my idol.
Inspiring
I'd like to see a workout and eating plan for type 2 diabetics that are otr. It's too easy to fall off the diet when fast food is at every truck stop.
Great video bro, shid need more videos like this.... We all need to share that advise its a lot of us that already know but eithr too tired or just not ready. But thats some of the reason why because what a lot of ppl don't realize is that if that get that testosterone boosted by eating right and exercise shoods we can get that energy back. Because staying fit is very important. Not only trucking but everything. I decided to make that change about 2 years ago and im glad i did. Great video man.. Keep on trucking truckng brothah
Hello Marcus how are you doing today
Well done bro
Thank u
MAN i hope when i get team driving that the person is like this guy right here
Good video. Doing flatbed you have to stay in shape or you will take forever to tarp and tie down the loads.
Hello Brandon how are you doing today
....Thank You
This video was on time
Thanks for the video. I recommend syntha six protein powder.
Truck driving companies should give out free gym memberships to their employees. It would definitely cut down
on job / diet related illnesses. Oh and why not have a nutrition program for drivers who are obese and have food related diseases or as a preventative measure for drivers who are healthy?
The only company that I know that does this is Wal-Mart
Agree! They should also have gyms with weights and calisthenics at each of these truck stops.
Great video, just was think how you represent the company
teaspoon of honey a day to reduce sugar cravings...I never heard that before. I'm gonna try that.
Thanks guys am really tired of fast food
“Chipote” legend lol
You need a blog or instagram or tik tok where you can show more examples of what you do. If you already don't have it i would love to watch them! New cdl driver here and i want to start before i get started on my own been doing push ups sit ups and planks everyday and watching more of what i eat.
I have an objection, to the packaged chicken. It is very high in sodium. I have found that many of the packaged items, the sodium content is ridiculous, I have personally invested in a food saver and cook at home. I also enjoy tuna, however being sodium conscious, I have to buy from Amazon unless I pay $4/ pouch for No Salt Added Wild Planet tuna at walmart.
Hello how are you doing today
I haul gas so I’m in and out of the truck- the otr thing seems nearly impossible to eat right. Exercise can be managed but the food is hard to dial in.
I want to train with this guy otr
How about a video for those opposed to microwave cooking?
Air fryer
Slow cooker
Toaster oven
Get a small air fryer
Can I be added to that group? Like how the accountability is there and share the same passion
Cool brother but my company doesn't allow us inverters for a fridge or microwave. So how do you eat healthy without one? Right now its mostly subway or any other fast food spot. Or am I pretty much screwed ?
Any trouble grabbing a daily shower on the road? I'm a serious exerciser. Wanting to maintain my daily fitness effort. But also want to hit the rack washed up if possible. I'm new to trucking and looking for my first company and seriously considering pursuing work with TMC. I've heard on a few other videos that "for some reason" flatbedding is harder on finding a daily shower. Any truth to that?
All that processed food is super high in salt so you must be careful with that as well. Having the invertor is a nice touch to heat up home cooked meals
Does the company pay meal perdiem, and fitness time daily.
12:39 how are those wood 4 by 4s set up for dips? You just hook em up to the rub rail? Man I'm all for this.... I've been driving for 4 years. 270lbs was my highest im at 230 right now. I wanna get to 190
You can do it keep up the good work
You can purchase a portable dip/pull-up bar
any truckers keep a mini propane grill? my truck doesnt have an inverter so im trying to find the best option for cooking warm food on my own. im sick of cold food or crappy truck stop meals.
Theres alot of sodium in canned food and in some frozen pre packaged meats.
I have my CDL permit do y’all offer training in SC Thanks for any info
I’m a driver at TMC and my goal was to NOT LOOK LIKE TRUCKER😂😂😂
I have a slim fast for breakfast rihht after walking 1 mile and then 1 for lunch as well as 3 100ish calorie snacks then i eat a 600 calorie dinner. I buy those family oncor meals from walmart for 250 and have 2 pieces plus canned veggies. Then prep 2 more dinners the next couple of days
Would like to see some ziploc meal prep just take out of fridge, un zip and add to a portable gas griddle cooking outside truck for safety. Healthy freshly done meals. Just to ditch the microwave once in a while.....any truckers out there that used to warm up their food wrapped in aluminum thin foil and heated it on top of truck engine?
Is a protein powder a good substitute for a meal. If I replace a meal for a protein powder could that be done everyday, or should it be done just a couple days a week
Can do it as many times as you want it’s a meal replacement .
True, especially if you add a mix of fruits, veggies, healthy fats and spices.
Microwave food is deadly! The microwave was band from the Soviet Union since 1975 for good reason!
A note on the protein powders though… Whey protein “isolate” is ideal for muscle gain & weight loss. Be sure you’re not consuming a Whey protein “concentrate” as this can be counterproductive to WeightLoss and are often cheaper Due to the use of fillers and sweeteners
Well not to mention the flatbed trailer throwing chains binders reps with tie downs vs pulling a box literally hang load locks and code the door go........
