What jobs provide a good physical workout ?

[Vic]

I once worked a job in a flour packaging mill lifting 50 lb. sacks of flour and dumping them into a hopper all day. Now that was a workout!

My goodness. I bet you were popular with the ladies!

How easy was it to get hired at UPS for those that worked there? And how about the hours...i wanna get into shape over the summer and hopefully I can work there.

one of those truck unloading people. or UPS.

i cant imagine doing that after 40 years or so. as you get older, it becomes more difficult on your body.

Rough framing is a nice workout. I used to be in good shape because of that. Now, I"ve got IT gut.

Construction worker cleaning up a burned out office?

Bailing hay
12 hour days in the sun (or a hot barn) moving 40 - 60 pound bails constantly. And keeping an eye on the kicker of course.
Roofer would be my next choice. Those guys bust their asses.

Pretty tough from what I understand. Good benefits + decent pay + crappy economy = no openings

I worked on the floor of an R&D facility where we built production machines. The building was a quarter mile on a side, and was square. I lifted, moved, machined, huge amounts of everything. Everyone that worked there was in good shape, and we all ate huge lunches... That was a workout!

Drag brush for a tree company... my God did I hate that. Not only do you move limbs around, cut them up, chip, stack etc, but sometimes dodge logs that the climber is cutting out of the tree. It's a workout.
