Standing is hard, is fit worth it?

The standing will kill you. Looking for a way to keep fit during the day? Get a job where you stand and walk around, standing is hard work. This week I have been helping at out the flower shop my mother works at. They are a large wholesale florist, shipping to every chain and specialty grocer in the area and even states away.

The running around: in the cooler out of the cooler, wrapping bouquets, stripping thorns, loading racks of buckets, hauling 10 bouquets at a time and hosting them overhead; it is is madness. My body is tired just thinking about my day. As long as you can resist the cupcakes they bring in to snack on, a physical job like this is bound to help shed some pounds.

The downside: working with your hands makes you have ugly hands.
