Basic Level Of Fitness

[Raja]

Hello all i have an open question to all tilers on the forum. Do you believe a certain level of fitness and endurance is required to be a tiler. I have lately put on a good few pounds and find when on jobs am slower and flexability is not as agile as it used to be. Do any of you thing that weight or a few pounds on the tummy make a differance when tiling?

 

[DHTiling]

I dont think it makes any difference .....same as any trade really..they come in all shapes and sizes..lol lol......

hi don

your cardio vascular fitness is whats important for endurance. whether your a tiler, lawyer, brick layer or brain surgeon.

try and cut down on processed/bad carbohydrates..cakes, sweets, white bread, pastries. eat wholemeal sandwiches, more fruit and veg and lean protein and the big one is drink more water during the day, 2-3 litres. it will surpress your hunger, will neutralise your blood sugar levels, rehydrate your body and give your more energy. also the weight will come off!!!

do exercises that you enjoy, if you hate training then you wont stick at it. try anything.

i take my training and health really seriously but i enjoy it. being fit combats stress and reduces lots of illness, ie heart disease, strokes, cancer, depression the list is endless........dont let your weight get out of hand. your weight is similar to tiling, easy to put on but a b*****d to get off!!!!

thank u ed for you words of encouragment is hard to fight the addiction of fast foods at minute am going to pull my sel together soon am off on holiday from saturday for a week so hope to get back into it from when i get back

Stay off the fast food! I make a packed lunch, not too exciting but it means i can eat quickly as and when suits me on the job and its reasonably healthy.
Ive lost about a stone since i started tiling, maybe more. 12-14 hr days tiling, farm to run as well, think i burn off those pints on a sat night.

Don..... quite frankly if yer a lardy your gonna find trouble tiling.

How many times have i got my pert young botty wedged between wall and toliet when trying to messure a cut behind the old wee stained poo pan!

Now can you imagine a Dawn French sized wobble butt trying to do the same?
It'd be like trying to get Eddy the 80 ton Indian elephant through my front door!

What about standing in the bath to tile!!!!!! The cost in damages would leave a chunka running at a loss!

Then there's the time lost running... sorry wobbling backwards and forwards to krispy creme every hour to fill up the 40 gallon flab tank!!

Yes cardio plays a big part but if yer larger than a hump back whale on a diet of chocolate fish and pink sugar prawns it aint gonna help either!!!
