Jobs that = exercise?

[Aubrey]

I'm looking for a new job, and can't stand the thought of sitting all day. What jobs can you think of that would keep you active?

[kpickell]

I know what you mean. Sometimes I think I'm going to lose my mind from sitting all day.

[Idhan]

Army ranger.

[janie]

Personal trainer or fitness instructor. :)

I can't say i've ever had a job that allowed me to sit all day. I'll trade you spots!! haha

[queenfluff]

Zookeeper. Your muscles will be in excellent shape after a while. :)


Funny thing: When I was a zookeeper, I couldn't wait to sit down and rest - now that I am a programmer and sit on my butt - I kinda miss it. (oh, and my muscles have gone to pot too! :lol:)

I was a Chambermaid last summer and boy oh boy that job sure as hell kept me busy. The money was really really good, but I don't think I will ever do it again. It was very hard for me physically. I am actually going to go back to the same hotel in June and work in laundry. The only down fall is there is no air conditioner in laundry, and it gets very hot down there.

I also waitressed for several years and I was pretty busy most of the time. You basically rely on your tips though, because the pay pretty much sucks.

The military isn't always a good example of a job that involves lots of fitness. I was in the navy for 6 years and was assigned a desk job my last 3 years and gained a good 15 pounds. We were still required to workout several days a week, and take physical fitness tests every six months (run a mile and a half in 15 minutes, push-ups, sit-ups) but with the amount of junk food garbage that was floating around the office + the amount of time we all had to sit at a desk = weight gain!

you could be a professional dog walker. hehe

Most food service jobs keep you moving, though there is lots of food around so it doesn't always help one's figure.

[Lydia]

Physical education teacher :) :p

[Gnome Chomsky]

Cart pusher at wal-mart.
You will want to kill yourself, but you will be in awe inspiring shape.

:lol:

Any retail job, I'd think. I used to work in a furniture dept and never stood still.

However, I work in an office and rarely sit for more than 15-20 minutes at a time, unless I'm in a meeting (which is way more often than I'd like!). I'm always running up/down the stairs, going over to someone's cube, walking to another dept, etc...

[SuperChicken]

Dog groomer. You'll exercise yourself into carpel tunnel & back problems in no time at all! :lol:

[Cassiel]

Veterinary technician. Exhausting: on your feet all day, and when you're off of them it's because you're wrestling a big dog to the ground. Frequently a dog that weighs more than you do!
Bike messenger. I don't know how those guys do it. Some average 60 miles a day!

I second the "child care". When I used to work at a daycare, I had what I called my "baby muscles". It was the muscles that had developed from holding babies all day (in my upper arms) and squatting so often (in my thighs) to pick babies up or get down on their level.

I think being a mail carrier would be an awesome job. Walking is really good for you, and you'd have all that time walking to just think about whatever you wanted to think about. That's how I imagine it anyway.
