Between serving, bartending and working banquets, I worked 60 hours last week…..yes, count ‘em, 60! And that’s not 60 sixty hours of sitting behind a desk, it’s 60 hours on your feet….but energy breeds energy….once you get moving and keep moving, you can go for hours. Slam a coffee if you have to.
The place I work now has 8 banquet rooms of various sizes, only 3 of them are on the main floor….so plan on going up and down the stairs, a lot….17 stairs up, or 17 stairs down. (of course I counted them, if you‘re on a stairmaster, it‘s counts them for you) However, if you’re on a stairmaster, you are not carrying things at the same time, when serving, we are, sometimes very heavy things…. so enjoy the workout. Oh, and if you have to run and grab something extra and make a trip up the stairs to the kitchen empty handed, you’re doing the stairs in double-time.
When all is said and done…what a great workout for the ol’ gluteus maximus! And don’t forget about the arms…hoisting 20 to 30 pound trays around does wonders for toning your arms and shoulders…walk up the stairs with 2 fifteen pound buckets of ice, great for the legs!
I’m in my fifties, folks, so if you’re a twenty something sever, and you tell me you’re tired, I’ll probably tell you to kiss my ass.
