Can a Physically Demanding Job Improve Fitness? - Walmart Worker's Question


Question
Can a job help me get into shape?
I'm a 23/female and a little bit overweight.

I've been going to the gym since November 2010 but I started a job 3 weeks ago. It's a labor intensive job. I work in walmart where I have to lift and move heavy boxes and merchandise and stock shelves for 8 hours a day. I've never worked this kind of job before. so I am extremely sore.

Anyway, do you think this type of job will help me get into shape? as I work the job longer will the soreness go away?

today starts my 3rd week and I've been without a job for 8 months so I want to stick with it but it's tough cause like I said I am out of shape and chubby and so I'm struggling.

any advice, please?

Answer
Hi Desirai,
The soreness will go away pretty soon.
The job will help you to get into shape as you lift abd move the boxes around.
Make sure that you lift with your legs and not your back so that you don't hurt yourself.
You still need to workout at the gym doing cardio and using the machines.
Good Luck,
Bonnie
