Frequently Asked Questions

How do I manage fatigue when I'm walking all day?

Focus on active recovery and proper footwear. Ensure you are hitting your protein targets to support muscle repair and prioritize sleep to manage the high volume of daily steps.

Should I do cardio outside of work?

Since your job involves significant low-intensity steady-state cardio, focus your gym time on strength training and mobility to build a resilient body rather than adding more high-impact cardio.
