[QUOTE="Magnus, post: 746143, member: 22193"] I know what you're saying, Jones, but the way he wrote it off as if this job were a cake walk or something just irks me. Besides professional athletes, I can't think of a more athletically inclined job than UPS. Maybe it's just me, but I don't ever take it easy when I'm on with UPS (I'm a "gunner"), so for me it's damn physically challenging. I look at it this way... we get cardio (from running or half-jogging or walking - the first we're not supposed to do but some do anyway), and we get strength and endurance training (constantly lifting and lowering) all in one lump, and for substantially longer periods of time (which is where endurance comes in) than any normal or sane person would ever try to work out for in their own spare time. That's hitting all three core aspects of "exercising" right there, and most only do these things for an hour or less a day, if that - we do it 4 to 8 or even 12 + hours if needs be. I myself always hit "the wall" at some point in the day... where I think and feel like I can't possibly go on, but I push through it and I do because I have too and I feel like I'm being pushed too (which I am, by myself and others). I'm just saying, if that's not exercise, then I don't know what is! Really though, number two... Housecleaning... HOUSECLEANING?! Seriously!!! :lol: [/QUOTE]
