As full-timers, we carry our kayaks on our truck and get them out on the water as often as possible. It's great exercise and a lot of fun. Now that cooler (and unfortunately, wetter) weather is approaching, we haven't been able to use them as much. The rain seems to be following us. ugh! Normally, we take walks around the campgrounds or nearby trails. With the rain, we are suffering from cabin fever. Looking forward to heading south soon for warmer (and hopefully dry) weather!
Also, we focus a lot on what we eat, making sure to use a lot of fresh vegetables and avoid processed foods. I find that with our new lifestyle, we don't eat out as much but prefer paying a visit to the local grocery store, loading up on vegetables and meat, and eating much more healthy. I can definitely tell a difference.
P.S.: If anyone can recommend a recipe site for healthy eating, please let me know! Always looking for new ideas.

When at home, I normally belong to a health/fitness club and work out two hours every other day...then, walk or bike for an hour or more on the other days plus play golf once or twice a week.
Now that we are full timing, I notice we are reducing our output depending on weather. I like to stretch (yoga), jump rope, and lift 10 lb weights for 30 minutes before going for a 30-60 minute walk in the morning. During the day we then go biking on our Bike E recumbents for an hour minimum which is always great fun. Now that we have added two kayaks we love that as well. So exercise on the road is not as rigorous as that at a fitness center for us, but a lot more fun...especially the kayaking. We are now gearing many of our trips around the exploration of new lakes and rivers using our kayaks.
This is a great topic, and I think very important as it's so easy to become too relaxed with the RV lifestyle. As a minimum we have been told to walk at least 30 minutes a day, ideally, twice a day...before breakfast and after dinner.

You actually eat that stuff or just look at it while walking?
