I call it “rural CrossFit.” I’m in great shape because I build fence, turn compost piles, haul water, and walk long distances regularly. I’ve noticed that when I work with people who are gym-fit, they tap out much faster even though they’re often “stronger” than me. I’m still not a fast runner, but my endurance is incredible compared to most tech workers my age. Plus, I get meat and veggies for my efforts.
