Kitchen Health advice

[Anonymous No.6856296]

Evening /ck/,

I just started working at a restaurant a week ago, and its great an I love it so far.
Now, I would love some advice from experienced cooks how they avoid health problems, because now that I have a free day my body is feeling like my knees are going to burst and my neck is broken (from looking downward all the time).
I dont want to whine around, because I absolutly can live with that things and also know it gets better with time, but there surely are ways to avoid permanent damage in the future?
Hope I dont sound to dumb asking.

Exercise.

You have to work out. When I first started I got severe back pain. Just taking a walk in the morning and working on my core like a faggot helped a lot.

I honestly don't know what to do about knees, they just get fucked and then you're done.

I'm 21. Wanted to be a cook but they are already fucked up. Overweight + accident + incompetent doctor who fucked my shit up.

Besides, yeah, you can't really do anything about your knees, just adopt a good position, don't be a fat fuck and don't get in a car accident.

damn, the knees are the worst thing about it.

Then its back to the gym for me, its even kind of welcome because I suddenly feel like I dont know what to do with a free monday/tuesday.
Anything for the neck thing?

good shoes...and i mean really good shoes ... sport, fitness, good physical condition is a must, drink a lot of water, eat a good breakfast, be happy with what you do ( if you stand up in the morning and the first thing you think is : "oh no.. not an other day at job"... : quit the place, look for an other job...

Yes, good shoes. Actually get a pair fitted, some with supports. Practice good posture, work out when you can, keep hydrated, get good sleep. Lots of common sense stuff like that. And yes, in time the parts that are site right now will get used to it.

Bullshit. That fat on the back of you calves and thighs causes extra pressure on your knees, just like a walnut cracker. Weight doesn't help.

I completely fucked my knees in high school, but it only bothers me when I gain weight.

Strongly recommend SAS shoes. They're kind of pricey at USD 150 a pair, but they are hands down the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.

stretch before and after your shift.

Sure you look like a faggot, but its worth it.

Also good shoes go a long fucking way.

Expensive dress shoes in the kitchen, really? Just buy some roomy rubber clogs like a sane person.

Work out. Don't drink too much too often. Try to avoid blow as much as possible.

That's because you're doing it wrong. You know who have big calves? Ballerinas. Do you know why? Because they are on tiptoe all the fucking time. Start toe walking and you'll get big calves.

Crocs and cigarettes tbh
