Default Re: My Job - Do I need to Weight Lift

I moved furniture for 3 summers and my crew went to the gym after work pretty much every day. Some days are harder than others, but the typical house is really not that bad. (of course you get that house that had 25 book boxes on the 3rd floor but not usually) I really dont think that moving furniture is a substitute for either aerobic or strength training and both should be done outside of work. However, you said that you do not have time... It is definately possible to lose weight becuase the job is so active if you make adjustments to your diet.

I really dont think that strength training will burn you out or make you nonfunctional at work. In my experience, i never got burnt out.
