    I do my cardio at my Amazon warehouse job. 10 hours a day zooming around throwing 40 pound boxes and pushing carts of shit. That’s the difference I guess. A lot of lower income working class people have jobs that are so physically intensive that, A. they don’t really need any extra cardio or B. they don’t have any energy left at the end of the day to be running up and down the street

      Oh come on - I used at one of those warehouses too and I was still unfit as fuck. It's walking a heavy object along which I'm sure is more than most office workers do, but I'd still get out of breath walking up the stairs or riding my bike.

      I think it's the latter - fuck all energy. I stopped working out when I started working there. Too exhausted after the fucking grim night shiftm

        I guess it depends on the specific task you do and which warehouse. I do Unload on the induction line at a DPS and it’s a more intense workout than anything I’ve ever done tbh. It’s basically lifting weights and doing squats for 5 straight hours. I’ve been there 2 months and I’ve got muscles now that I didn’t know existed
