Tom Molnar - How I Mix Training and Trucking

At 57, Tom is still going strong thanks to years of working out and eating right. What do you do to keep in shape when you get older?

Tom, I have the same story. I also drive truck for a living and try to bodybuild at the same time. Your right, it's so hard, because of the hours I work. I'm home every night, but work 12 to 14 hrs. a day. So many nights I come home and the last thing I feel like doing, is going on a run, or working out but I push myself to do it. I wish that I could work out in the morning before I go to work but, I start to early, like 1 or 2 in the morning. I try to never put anybody else down ( to each there own.) but, my inspiration to keep on working out is looking at all the fat ass truck drivers munching down thoes 2 lb. bags of chips with there bellys hanging down to there knees. Looking at this just makes me work harder or run farther and harder. I never want to look like that. With my schedule, if I can find time to work out anybody can. Keep up the good work, and thanks for your story. Good copy hand.

Thanks Jabber Jaw. I knew there had to be more drivers out there. I know I certainly can't get any of MY fellow drivers to get into working out. They just laugh and say they don't have time. Of course.

I wish my 13-14 hour days started in the wee hours like yours. I once had a job that started about 2am and it fit my lifestyle perfectly. I've always been an early riser. But alas, that job is gone and this one is here - and it's all night. And once the snow comes, part of my workout becomes chaining 1-3 times a night. Then I REALLY feel like working out when I get home - NOT. But like you, I think about all these other guys and how THEY look, and that's all I need to push me out to the 'gym'.

Thanks for the comments, Jabber Jaw. I appreciate it. Keep on Truckin'...

i dont see how you guys would be able to drink alot of water cuz when i do i have to pee every 10 minutes and what are you supposed to do pullover every 10 minutes or pee in a milk jug...you guys deserve respect

The Tommy · 07-12-2004, 08:11 AM

Well, unless it's summer, I really don't drink 'tons' of water. Like you say, I don't want to be peeing every 10 minutes. I usually stop about every 1 1/2 hours to 'unload', and that's enough.

thank you for writing an amazing atricle. it was really inspiringg

I appreciate your kind words. Sometimes it's a real struggle to keep up my plan with my goofy hours but I really try to keep up. The older I get, the harder it is to make a 'come back' if I fall off the wagon. It's a lot easier to "keep up" than to "catch up".
