Keeping fit on the road
A lightweight portable full-body gym for your RV
By Cheri Sicard
I can’t guarantee that using this lightweight, portable gym will result in a body like the model in their photos. (I suspect that guy does a whole lot more than work out with this portable gym.) That said, it makes a terrific way to get in some resistance training and keep yourself moving on days when it is too windy or rainy for walks and hikes.

Why you need an electric bike
By Dave Helgeson
Electric bikes allow people of all abilities (including aging RVers) to explore their surroundings without being hampered by hills or headwinds. You ride it much like you ride a normal bicycle, but with less effort, pedaling as much or as little as you want. With an electric bike, you can fully enjoy and appreciate where you’re riding without becoming fatigued. Check out Dave’s electric bike thoughts.

Gadget quick takes
-
Make fitness a game with exercise dice: Roll the dice for a fun and exciting way to get fit with friends. You must perform the exercise and repetitions that appear on top of the rolled dice—a great way to keep your workouts fresh and exciting. Exercises include jumping jacks, crunches, squats, push-ups, lunges, and a wildcard of your choosing. Rep counts are 30, 60, 90 seconds or 10, 20, 30 reps.
- Jar, bottle, and can opener for weak hands: This 6-in-1 jar and bottle opener has eight sizes of circular openings, making the jar opener extremely convenient for opening small and medium size lids (1-3 inches diameter). The hooks on the top can be used to open the large-size lids by breaking the air tightness, and can also be used to open the ring pull cans.
- GRIPSTIC bag closures: Bag sealers slide across the entire food storage bag to keep air and moisture out. Say goodbye to stale food and freezer burn. Fold the bag over 1x and slide the GRIPSTIC across the bag. Color-coded in five sizes to seal everything from kids’ snacks to family-size frozen vegetables. Freezer and dishwasher safe.

Thank you for the compilation, Cheri! Have a great day and safe travels!
Here is food for thought. Skip the gym equipment and find a senior center and drop in on one of their exercise classes. Cheaper and less weight. I do belong to several and much nicer to meet other people. As for that jar opener? I have one its nice.
