With the sun hitting hard on us and temperature at 39 to 40 degree celcius for the last few days I didn't dare to go out anywhere. But yesterday's afternoon was slightly cooler. Probably, it rained somewhere in the south. The fencing work around our land was pending. The weather was not too inimical.I went to the land with a help and fixed four fence pillars. in an hour and a half. I have not done such work needing physical energy for months. Naturally, by the time the fourth pillar was fixed my muscles were protesting.Yet, I was satisfied that some work was done.Though tired, I remembered someone's words - It is good to do physical work to remain healthy. Those who work with their bodies do not need gyms. Do you agree?

Not anymore. I was in manufacturing for 15-20 years which was way more physical, These days I am in sales, and so manual labor is not something I do anymore. I have an office and a desk. I do travel a lot, but that's not physical.

When we grow older in age, perhaps, an office and a desk job is better for us.

I don't know, these days I can't even get a complete sleep. But I do have exercise equipment.

You are so right, I do physical work and I do not need gym at all.

Manual physical work is a form of exercise in some way versus work.that keeps you seated in a.chair.the.whole day, that's.quite.sedentary so you need to get your body moving in some other ways.

I am more of a manager who gets things done but if it is for survival then I do mess my hands (lol)

I agree 100% with that last comment. Of course when I'm outside in 40(c) I make sure to have white clothing on and a hat plus I drink a lot of water.

If you are doing physical work already, gym is just a waste of time.
