Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fit strength training into a busy postal route schedule?

Focus on high-intensity, low-volume sessions 3 days a week. Prioritize compound movements that mimic the physical demands of your job, such as lifting and carrying.

What is the best way to prevent back pain as a postal worker?

Strengthen your core and glutes. A strong posterior chain takes the load off your lower back when you are bending, reaching, or carrying heavy parcels.
