When you’re hitting the open road in your RV, staying active isn’t just about keeping fit—it’s about making the most of your adventures! We recently asked our readers in the newsletter, “How do you prefer to stay active while RVing?” and the results are in… with one option getting absolutely no love (we’re looking at you, yoga enthusiasts). If you missed this poll, don’t worry—there’s always another one coming! Make sure to vote next time so your favorite activity gets the spotlight (or at least doesn’t end up with a big fat zero).
Here’s how the votes shook out:
| Activity | Votes (%) |
|---|---|
| Walking | 76% |
| Biking | 10% |
| Yoga | 0% |
| Gym Workouts | 14% |
Walking: The Undisputed Champion of RV Fitness
With a whopping 76% of the vote, walking isn’t just the winner—it’s the people’s champ. And why not? It requires zero equipment (unless you count your two feet and maybe a stubborn dog on a leash), and you can do it anywhere—scenic trails, Walmart parking lots (hey, we don’t judge), or even just laps around your campsite while questioning your life choices.
Biking: For the Speed Demons (or Those Who Just Like Coasting)
Biking snagged a respectable 10% of the vote, proving that some RVers like to pick up the pace—or at least enjoy the wind in their hair as they pedal to the nearest ice cream stand. Bonus: Bikes are easier to haul than a full gym setup, unless you’re one of those overachievers with a Peloton strapped to your RV.
Gym Workouts: For the Dedicated (or Delusional)
At 14%, gym workouts are the underdog of RV fitness. We salute the brave souls who manage to bench press in a space smaller than a walk-in closet. Whether it’s resistance bands, compact weights, or just using your RV steps as a stair climber, you’re committed—and possibly a little crazy.
Yoga: The Shocking Zero
Yoga got zero votes. Zero. Not a single respondent admitted to downward-dogging in their RV. Maybe it’s the lack of space, or maybe RVers just prefer their zen time with a campfire and a beer instead of pretzel-like poses. Either way, namaste… elsewhere.
Why Did Walking Dominate? Let’s Break It Down
The results make perfect sense when you think about it. Walking is the ultimate low-effort, high-reward RV activity. No gear? No problem. Out of shape? Start slow. Want to multitask? Walk and birdwatch, or walk and snack (a personal favorite). Meanwhile, biking requires hauling extra equipment, gym workouts demand discipline (hard to muster on vacation), and yoga… well, let’s just say most RVers prefer flexibility in their travel plans, not their hamstrings.
So, what’s your go-to RV workout? Whether you’re a walker, biker, or gym warrior, keep moving—just maybe don’t try yoga unless you’re ready to be the only one.
