| whenever i do a big home project it normally involved heavy labor for 15 to 17 hours straight which normally translates into really tight achey body all over.
after a couple of days it goes away, but i always wonder how my Grandfather did this sort of thing for a living!?
i always look forward to that first asana session following the recovery period after the 'weekend warrior' project.
forward bends always seem to be the best for getting loose, as well as the whole trikonasana series of postures---for me. |

| I have wondered the same thing SCT. From talking to my DD, who did tree planting last summer, the body does adapt. At first she was in a lot of pain then she got used to it and, unless they had an especially hard day, she was more or less fine. Of course, she has some overuse issues with her knees (she has lousy alignment so that won't help) and maybe some permanent problems with her wrists (which will not get any better with her working in restaurant kitchens) but generally she just got incredibly strong and tough. The bug bite scars alone are enough to make a mother faint  Last year when we painted the outside of our house, I could only do legs up the wall at the end of the day. A few twists helped and I am sure a full practice would have been perfect, but I could not make myself do it.  |

| Up until last october my husband built and rebuilt houses for a living. He was rediculously strong. It was like there was a sheet of metal under his skin. Very sexy. Now he is in real estate and has a little more meat on him but you can still see the years of hard labor in his strong body. lucky me. |
