I've done it all. It can suck either way. The important thing is to not get injured, which can easily happen if you get a job that's too sedentary.

I mean yeah it all sucks, but honestly I'm just tired of my feet hurting.

Working out and stretching have done way more wonders for me than manual labor has, in fact working out made doing manual labor easier for me, not even particularly intense work outs either. I always tell people, manual labor =/= exercise, one can compliment the other but they're two very different things.

Same here. I have to get in at least a light workout every day or else I do start to get little work injuries. Ironically, I didn't actually hurt my back until I got a desk job. Turns out I still have to workout or work will destroy my body.

I stretch almost every day now. Learning how to squat properly also took tons of stress off my back.
