This is something I used to hear all the time at the start of my career, "Why do you want to do such back breaking work?!" Or "you're going to destroy your body!" And other similar things. And though I definitely don't hear that as much anymore since I've been in the industry for so long, I'm still reminded that health and fitness is an every day, lifelong choice. I start every day by stretching for 20 minutes, and I strength train 3-4 times a week because I want to be able to do this job for as long as I possibly can, and my greatest fear is losing my independence and my freedom when I become much older. What is your reason for staying strong and healthy? #cartok #bluecollar #womenintrades #femalemechanic #motivation
