Do you keep in shape just to keep up at work?

Do you guys find you have to work out just to stay fit enough to work? I'm finding work so much easier now that I've lost 25 pounds (due to other reasons - found out I had super high cholesterol). The lack of strain on my back is amazing.

Now I find when I skip the gym for a week I feel the ache in my lower back again. I don't want to slip a disc or destroy my lumbar spine working with these big patients...!

I've found it helps immensely with CPR, too. Personally I think chest compressions need a lot of physical endurance to be able to do them correctly.

Any thoughts? They should have work fitness programs.

    Before entering the healthcare field, I used to run about every day. I was fit. However after a few years of night shift, irregular meals and no consistent exercise, I gained quite a bit of weight. Recently, with the help of a Wellness Coach at work (being on day shift helped too!)I got back into exercising; walking at first until my dog wimped out, then back into running. I've lost more than 40 pounds, weigh what I did back in my 20s when I was a young paratrooper.

    Feeling fit is great just because.

    What is really bad is that if I hadn't lost weight, I'd still be one of the smaller people here at work.
