Very fit to do big stuff all day every day.

Not very fit to do what I do!

For me, it is like being able to do several hours of circuit training every day.

I love it!

Then at the weekend I go for a cycle for a few hours to unwind.

As fit as you can make yourself? This work is very intense on your body so you need to condition your body as such.

Hi,

 

Im not a pro, but have a large small holding, I think you need to be as fit as possible, I keep fit by my work. Im often surprised at how unfit some people are, but then they may not be used to working in 35 degree heat.

I think your body soon adapts and builds itself up to you the work you usually carry out on a day to day basis. I know when I first started arb I used to ache, and be in bed by about 8 for the first 2 or 3 weeks, now it doesn't seem too hard. However doing a big reduction requires more fitness, but I do think a good technique and conserving your energy help and thinking things through a bit more you can god for longer

I'm surprised at how unfit I've become. Used to play football, do martial arts, run, climb and everything else without missing a beat... Now I get knackered getting out the car.
