Does working on the door class as exercise (bare with me!)

 I'm doing the teen club again tonight. I'm pretty much the only person on the front door so i have to do all the searches which involves doing kind of like a squat to check around the ankles. I have to seach everyone on entry and everyone who leaves and then re-enters the venue so roughly around 700 searches a night. I'm on a keto diet at the moment and i'm just curious as to whether this is helping at all.

im sure it will do something

but unless your a coach potatoe im sure it will be pretty much bugga all.

just think how hard to have have to murder yourself to gain any muscle or burn off any fat.  just moving about a bit more than standing there all night isnt gonna do a great deal imo!!

yes i'm a couch potato unless i'm in the gym lol. Plus its like 24 Degs outside here at night and i'm sweating my ass of the whole time lol

well if you feel searching people is a workout maybe you need to up the dosage in the gym

You have to do a full pat down on every person over there ? Why do you pat down on the way out? Must be a night mare at kicking out time when everyone is trying to leave and theres a que to be searched.

no i pat down on entry then if someone leaves the venue and comes back then we have to search them again, as its a teen thing we have to be carefull about alcohol getting into the venue as the hotel has no alcohol licence plus underage people=shutdown. Alot of them come out the front to smoke talk on the phone etc so i have to search them on the way back inside.

Get a rucksack, get a 20kg bag of sand, combine the 2 and stick on your back. By the end of the night you'll of done a shed load of low impact exercise.

You may look a bit of a tool though, and it will slow you down when chasing teens....

Yes it's an active lifestyle. Ignoring MT adherents and those who powerlift/bodybuild for its own sake, the reason most of the public 'need' exercise (or risk becoming fat and unfit) is the sedentary nature of most modern jobs. It must burn some calories.

It may pay ($) and make you feel fatigued, but it is not quality work is it?

(Opps, I mean quality work as in training (work) load)

Maybe you you invent your own routine, this could get you started -

1) you pat someone down
2) then do 5 star jumps
3) pick up the customer and bench them (for reps !!)
4) give them a piggy back into club whilst doing long lunges and bicep curls

Will have little impact.

It will probably make no difference, although I hate doing it when I've got some serious leg DOMS

It hardly counts as a work out but its a  useful low impact CV session isnt it?

Searching 700 people takes quite a bit.

Urm its against the law to do that to minors? under the age of 17.
