Exercise with Limited Equipment
With COVID-19 closing down gyms and drivers on the road for extended hours, it seems inevitable that Americans will gain weight! Don’t fear! Luma is here to share some learning lesson strategies for teaching your employees and drivers to exercise with limited equipment.
Have your heard? Our Learning Lessons have been collected into a book available for purchase on Amazon.com! Teaching Without A Teaching Degree: Luma Learning Lessons contains 52 lesson plans and worksheets with 106 different teaching strategies designed for the trucking industry that can easily be adapted to suit any age and content topic.
Our free Luma Learning Lessons include objectives, estimated time, materials and instructional procedures for classroom and online/blended teaching. We will provide strategies on how to use our new LumaLive technology to collaborate virtually in real-time. We include these pillars from our learning research to illustrate where they are infused in our lessons.
Interaction Types
For decades there has been discussions of interaction types in education. (Anderson, 2003) Most interaction types observed in driver training traditionally are learner to instructor or learner to content. Moreover, most interaction time with driver training and orientation is synchronous or at the same time. This Learning Strategy is going to help you think about ways you can hold training without a physical classroom.
Interaction Time
The following Lesson is broken down into two different interaction times.

- Meet with learners using LumaLive or similar webinar technology that allows you to meet at the same time.
Ask how many of them have been working on a regular basis (3-4 times per week)? Ask why not to those that have not been consistently working out?
Optional: Have learners turn on their videos.
Explain that being on the road or being stuck at home without a gym while trying to establish a fitness routine can be tricky, to say the least. But developing a physical activity program that works for you doesn’t need to be difficult. In fact, your equipment may be right in your toolbox.- Pass out the Scavenger Hunt Worksheet.
- Go over the example and then brainstorm ideas of items around the house and discuss ideas.
- Challenge the learners to create their own toolbox for the group. They are going to create a list of items you can use for exercise when you have limited equipment. They will also create exercises that can be shared across students.
- Optional: Make it like a game and users that come back within a week and have the most items win a company workout shirt.
- Meet back in a week and share strategies.
Instructional Procedures for Asynchronous Training

- Challenge learners to respond to 1 learner to try their exercise and leave feedback.
