I'm not sure how anyone could walk 5+ miles a shift @350lbs and not injure themself, unless they were that big from training for Strongman or the like. Humans are not meant to have that much fat.
According to my iPhone tracking, I apparently walk several miles a day just from a habit of walking when on calls (largely circling around the parking lot like a vulture, for no apparent reason and probably confusing bystanders and co-workers continuously). Not for any particular reason; I’m just fidgety.
Well into obese (but less than 300) and it’s really not an issue at all — walking is a very light activity (and far easier than standing). Also notably, this habit has not lead to any weight-loss, or perhaps I eat to make up for it.
Ask me to run however and I’m dying in short order.
I mean, agreed, and he has been injuring himself. He’s dieting and trying to slim down though. Guy used to work out and be really buff back when he was in the military but it seems like a good number of people once they get out no longer have the discipline to keep fit once you don’t have all the structure of military service.
