No. don't be fooled into thinking this job will make you fit. You are sore today because you are weak and out of condition . That is the reality of it . Just saying . Level 3 P.T qualified .Do u think plasterers r fit enough without the gym. I started a hall stairs and landing yesterday and all that climbing about .today I feel every muscle is sore ist that enough exercise.

Then you have fell for the myth.Seriously though. Theres gym and gym. Depends what you’re doing there.
I think plastering will keep you fit in the sense you’re very active, will also work numerous muscles. But it won’t increase your cardio vascular because you’re not really getting the heart pumping.

I know plenty of fat tradesmen withave poor lifstyle's who sit all day and tell you how fit they are because of there job. The old saying that hard work never killed anyone is bull. But that is my opinion.I was always told you’ll never see a fat plasterer. And until I joined up here this was true lol

Beine active is not the same as being in good shape and condition with a good diet .The myth that being active is better than being inactive?
OK sounds like you know what you are doing .Carry on.lolI agree. But I’d bet they’re still fitter than inactive people with the same lifestyle

See, you’re getting it
Saw this guy the other dayin his plastering van. His front suspension was struggling more than the back. I honestly don't know how he would manage to get about at workI was always told you’ll never see a fat plasterer. And until I joined up here this was true lol

Back years ago when I was on proper site work, f&s, screeding, rendering, skimming ceilings all without a labourer I was fit as f**k. Work doesn't give you a cardio workout? You've never done the work I have then. You mix, hod in and f&s a four bed house on your own or mix barrow in and lay 80sqm of screed and your heart gets pumping I'll tell you.@essexandy can confirm this.

I went to a step class with the Mrs once and said "is that it? I do that for seven hours a day".
Domestic plastering is never going to keep you properly fit. It's just not hard enough or varied enough.
My old nickname on some jobs was 'animal', I'm definitely an animal now. A hippopotamus.Definitely agree the old school spreads are animals. Big respect to them. This is one of the reasons i do domestic.
Agree your body gets used to it. Ultimate fitness level to me is fighting fit. You can get fit but its another level . Fighting for three mins is hard workNo....I'm work fit but that's it!
