How does your job prepare you for the mountain?

Shift millwright, 12 hour days 4/4/365, unscheduled down time isn’t an option. Our plant is 4 levels and built of stairs and ladders, add in a 40 pound tool bag plus parts. The job keeps me in good shape, but is also hard on the body. A mountain hunt is a cake walk compared to a day at work.

I retired Monday.
Been busy - I'm already sore.
No longer sitting in front of that stupid laptop all day.

My job actually does the opposite since I sit on my ass all day and stare at a screen.

About same situation for me. Several years ago, with all the "daily steps counters" apps on our phones, I realized that I was way too sedentary, and I started to do a daily walking routine. Depending on the season and weather, I walk either early in the morning before work, or during lunch break, or after work, some times twice daily. During work time, I also try to seize any opportunity to stand and walk down the stairs to get some documents (instead of asking someone to bring it to me).
