Let's just accept that this weight lifting metaphor is leaky, like any other, and brings us to absurds like forklift operators need to lift dumbbells to keep relevant in their jobs.

Forklift operators need to do something to exercise. They sit in the seat all day. At least as a programmer I have a standing desk. This isn't relevant to the job though.

    When I stand still for hours at a time, I end up with aching knees, even though I'd have no problem walking for that same amount of time. Do you experience anything like that?
