Question: Physical fitness question**PLEASE HELP**
I am going to working twilight shift as a package handler!. From what I hear your lifting around 800 boxes an hour and the trailers can get as hot as 100 degrees!. I understand that this is a great physical work out and if anyone could give any advice that could help me tolerate this work please do so!. I do around 100 push ups a day but I'm not sure if this will prepare me for the work I will be doing!.
Thank you in advance to whoever answer this question!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was a mover for a summer and its sounds similar!. Here's what I advise
Hydrate!. You always need to make sure you have water!.
Squats!. Do them its the motion you'll do the most!.
Gloves!. Your hands take a beating, other guys give you trouble for it but at the end of the day you have less cuts!.
Rest!. You'll need it, you get used it quicker than you think but you need to rest a lot at first!.
Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Push ups don't help you much at all!. My best advice is just to get well rested and prepared, the work itself will train you to do the work!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'd say a strong back and leg muscles would be beneficial!.
