I have experienced that if skip even one day after 8 hour of physical labor streak my energy levels suddenly go to the bottom and I start to feel super bad. It’s quite strange because I do not think I could not be depressed if I had a sedentary job. Sedentary things just destroy me. Also I like and wanted job in programming/cs so yeah. Gotta career switch or something apparently because cardio in the evening isn’t enough, I am like golden retriever. Only truly satisfied when all my muscles ache at the end of the day. And also I need immediate results out of my work

      sorry. no one would get the reference. so I knew a developer who lived way out in the country and was both a part time firefighter and part time cop and we (people at work) would always sorta make fun like if the window washers were dropping down its like. theres salman practicing one of his extreme careers. I actually wrote it hoping you would respond enough for me to tell my little story.

        Sounds like Salman and I would get along great. I don’t run police though, firefighter/EMT only! I just get so cooped up sitting at a desk all day only exercising my mind. But then also so bored if all I did was run fire. A healthy mix keeps this engine running optimally!

          funny you say run as I believe that was another thing he did whereas the typical one of us would only do it if someone was chasing us and then we would call him for help of course.
