In this video, I explore the challenges of working out regularly when you work a very physical job. That could mean working on a construction site but it could also mean standing all day as a checkout assistant, crawling around the floor as a carpet fitter, painting and decorating, plumbing… I even had a comment from an archeologist!
Working out and building a great physique is uniquely challenging when your day job is also physically demanding. This simply leaves you with less energy to use during workouts and it increases the amount of recovery you need between training. This not only makes it hard to find motivation but also makes injuries more likely. You need to be strategic with the way you train.
The other challenge is dealing with repetitive and strenuous movements. While many of the movements we associate with manual work are more “functional” movements in nature (hammering, screwing, carrying, lifting), problems still arise if you perform them in massive volume compared to everything else. That’s not to mention bending over, crawling, or reaching overhead - all common depending on your work.
Here, I explain how you can train with short and effective workouts to build muscle while ALSO addressing the most common imbalances and stiffness.
Enjoy!
