Van Life | WORKING OUT & SHOWERING | No Gym Needed

[@sun-sea-solar]

The thing I love about this video is the fact you didn't use a thumbnail of you showering. Gains you another like 👍

[@happyhiker7266]

Thank you for the sunny account of your fun outdoor workouts and showering! We also exercise a lot outside, are avid hikers and camp for weeks and weekends in PA. You did an awesome job using the dumbbell as a kettlebell. Please consider making a future video of a full 30-60 minute outdoor workout, using your equipment and whatever nature that happens to be near, such as rocks and stumps. That would be so cool to workout along with you outside on our mountaintop!

[@heathermccuaig4708]

You are my spirit animal. Working out, working hard, independent free and peaceful. Love it!

[@dhatchellsd]

Omg! I love watching your blogs. You are such a great inspiration to just go out there and enjoy life. Thank you for sharing your van build and your journey. 💕

[@juliag2797]

Great video, as always! Loving your lifestyle!

[@simonefire]

You are a wonderful woman! Thank you for promoting sustainability for Mother Earth.

[@DiscoverSocial]

You remind me how much I need to get back into a lifting routine. Looking forward to getting our camper done and getting back out to the mountains!

[@DeborahLong7777]

Great video girl! Outdoors is a great way to take a shower and your right on how close you get to nature, it's natural! Lakes and rivers if clean too !!! Much love from Texas ❤

[@Anna.Z.]

So cool to see that. Take care and wish you many more amazing trips. x

Privacy shower and 💩 tent ordered. Boom! And now I'm motivated to fly fish once I hit the road here in a week

[@d-arts7139]

Can’t wait to get my trailer completed.... and see some sights. With my pup too 🐕

[@tammydemis7851]

Love seeing you smile & taking care of yourself! 💗

[@anneparrish2247]

Thanks. That was helpful. Good to see that that will work. I am drawing out a roughish lay out. Drew in a wet bath/ toilet space and tried imagining how I’d use it when even the smallest composting toilet would take up all the space. Not really much better than a sponge bath. Want a toilet but think that the way you bath is so much better. That tent is awesome good. Just the exercise of thinking about what you’d want in a van makes a person think a lot about what is important for them and how to fit them in. Good to have ideas of how other people have dealt with those questions.

[@ManWander]

your workout routine was very helpful for me as i am trying to put together a short routine to do on a daily basis at home

[@louismadrigal5718]

Hi. First time watching your video. Love to follow real life vanners. Keep up with the adventures and be safe.

[@kellybouwman4848]

Just ordered the Ma’na Organix soap, I’m excited to try it!

[@annipoppen]

As always, I get excited when you post a video. Thank you for sharing your life with us *heart* My question-how do you store your shampoo/conditioner bars after you shower?

[@doubled3082]

Have you been to Joshua Tree National Park? I've been there a few times and the blanket of stars at night is glorious? My son and I will purposely go after 10pm and just lay down and stare up in awe. Another great video, be well!

[@margiesvanmori]

I love watching your journey! This channel is so fun to watch! I can't wait to get into my van and hit the road

[@bcadams317]

Get video. I find exercise essential on the road. Especially important to stay fit for those long hikes. I just got an inflatable SUP and love, love, love my on-the-water yoga. Not much opportunity for that in the dessert, I suppose. I prefer bands over weights because of the weight in the rig. Thank for the Get Fit Guide. Looking forward to giving it a try. Keep the vids coming, L&A. Peace.

[@HendersonJen]

Hi... I just recently found you.. so I have been kind of trying to keep up with your current videos, while going back and playing catch-up. I would love your Get Fit Anywhere Guide, but the link is no longer active... any chance I can still get it?

[@georgehouse4747]

Thanks again it's always good to get in information I'm just about ready to be almost have my rig done so all the information I can get from you and other people really helps out got a great blog and I appreciate everything you do be safe out there and take care of that cute puppy 🙂

[@abbeyjane1306]

Thanks for another excellent video.

[@Greg-tj8rg]

That's about how I'd do it. No gym membership (well maybe if I practically lived in the city I would). Sponge bathe mostly and then sometimes do a shower in similar style to you. Have a good one

[@brookewhitley5329]

I got so excited when I saw that tent! Lol, that is the exact same tent that I bought to shower and poop in when I went into long field training exercises in the Army. Initially the guys made fun of me for needing to shower in the wild, but they came crawling over when I let them poop in it lol If the ground is too hard to stake into, you could also get some paracord (or any string) and tie it to a rock, etc

[@faye1954]

Great idea about the paracord. She could tie it to her heavy weights.

[@spiritlove2]

U could always use a bucket of warm water to wipe down in when it's cold n wash ur hair over the bucket with ur shower thing too

[@Linneaandakela]

Yup for sure!

[@christinepearse5021]

Omg I have those for kayaking!!!! Great idea!!!!

[@nondisgioldasis1477]

[@debbieherman6040]

[@siobianjones3350]

Looking good out there!!! I just wanna put it out there that I use to go to Linnea Crossfit classes and she is a total badass and really knows her shit!! Her guide will be totally worth it!!

[@NancyandMako]

I loved this video!! Your simplicity is what draws you and your love of who you are and doing it your way!!! I have worked out since forever and now too do not go to a gym😊 Thanks again😊❤️

[@sleep.eat.repeat6786]

it's so hard to have a very low carbon footprint these days, so I try the best I can without sacrificing too much of comfort, security, necessities (do what we can approach). I think this is your first video without akela as the main star. 😀 just so you know, if you have the sun (or anything bright) behind you or a light source inside, your silhouette will be pretty clear inside most shower tents and also night vision goggles.

[@leppad]

That’s a lot of weight to carry around in a van. Have you considered exercise bands? My wife and I have not yet hit the road as we are still building but we will be taking some pretty heavy duty bands which are relatively lightweight and easy to store.

[@brittanykasha4825]

Great video 👍🏼

[@IngridsVanlife]

You seem so lovely! Thanks for the insight into your van life, I am in the process of converting my own van now, and def considering shower vs not! Seems difficult and more time requiring to build a shower inside the van so this would be a good option. Also, love just washing up in rivers and the ocean.

[@nicovanzyl1979]

Nico 🤗😘😍

[@MagicianVANish]

You are my *Inspiration* ... I will start exercising more, showers I will stick to the gym 😀

[@robl625]

What about a 6" PVC pipe roof mounted with a hose attachment, shower nozzle and a small plastic pallet to stand on?

[@zanpackard1423]

I too carry my weights and I also use the TRX system off my roof rack. It’s 10x more fun working out outside. My shower system is a tiny bit more involved than yours, but not by a lot. I have enjoyed your videos so much, thanks for sharing your great ideas! 🙂

[@davewelbylivinginhistinyti4796]

Cool video, you look very powerful young lady, and your training session in nature is better than any gym 🙂 all the best 👍

[@danielswanson3348]

Linnea, we just started watching your videos. They are wonderful. Dan and Deb Swanson

[@YvonneRaphaelWriter]

Hi Linnea! It was nice seeing you enjoying your day in the sunshine! I followed the link to your guide. Im wishing for more info about it. Is it a video guide? A book? A booklet? Is it for absolute beginners? Is it for people who have had a few classes and just want to shift outside the gym? Do you need equipment to get started or to use all your guidance or just some of it or none of it? What forms of payment are you accepting and is it secure? I’m excited for you getting a product out like this to build your business!

[@deannabrito8889]

I love how you live your life. Do you ever get nervous that someone may be out there where you are? I plan on doing the van life living once I retire. Maybe early retirement in 10 years. The icky thing I am nervous about is being alone and having to worry about someone creeping in on me.

[@a.w.thompson4001]

Great topics! Nice clear demo of tent stowing was much appreciated. Thank you also for the sweet dose of Akela, aka. your excellent dog-pillow. I wish I could afford your fitness guide but Covid-19 shrank the budget for a while. For future reference, does the guide have detailed explainations of the exercises referenced in the plans? Might want to add screenshot of that to website. Am working towards Patreon.

[@StoopsThereItIs]

Cool. I use the same shower tent (wolfwise), but I use the geyser shower. Thanks for the info on conditioning bars. Didn’t know they existed. All the best: Always!

[@andreahuss3156]

[@黃一-h6b]

Thank u for the shower My biggest concern is water, how to wash my hair. You could wash with such a small bag of water (plus a tiny kettle) is amazing. Gotta try it out some time.

[@nicoles7101]

Hiya. Just wanted to give a quick PSA on river washing. Biodegradeable is mostly ok on earth as long as it's about 200 feet from water. Digging a whole is even better. It does pollute water sources though so always wash any soap off away from the water source

[@brianmi40]

The EPA guideline, is for 1 ounce of biodegradeable soap to be diluted by at least 156 gallons of water to be safe for fish. In a flowing river, that 1 ounce will be diluted in over 1,000 gallons within about 2 minutes, or over 9 times the requirement. Any person using a reasonable amount of biodegradeable soap should have no concerns in a flowing stream or river. We have way worse corporate polluters to be worrying about.

[@laululla]

@@brianmi40 It is not only about being harmful for water animal, but its also bringing in nutrients that change the ecosystem. One wash does not change the ecosystem, but it adds up.

[@brianmi40]

@@laululla We can ask no more than to follow the guideline. That's why we develop them. No one can know about "others". I stand by my statement. In even a mid-sized river of decent flow, it would take hundreds washing simultaneously to risk surpassing the EPA guideline.

[@laululla]

@@brianmi40 In my country we have different guidelines and it is to keep all unnesessary human/farming-produced organic material out of natural water. It used to be common to use rivers and lakes as sewages, but as we have changed our habits water quality has improved alot.
