I'm asking because, i'm thinking about doing a little part time job as a pizza maker on one day of the week because 1. i FRICKIN LOVE PIZZA and 2. i need to do something physically demanding as an contra to my office job which is only mentally exhausting. Just doin workouts at the gym would be an option yes, but getting the same result through doing something would be way better. Thanks for every shared experience!

Any kitchen work demands muscles you never even knew existed.

Your legs will hate you, but get some good, proper shoes with insoles.

Your back will hate you, try and find a place that has kitchen mats, instead of bare floor.

Your arms will hate you, and they will just have to get used to it...

The thing is, you'll work steadily and THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERYONE HAS AN ORDER NOOOOOOWWWWW and you run yer nuts off, and finish & go home, genrally buzzing from the adrenaline, which is why so many cooks, chefs and staff drink excessively...to shut down the noise....so be wary of that

Your body will adapt, go have fun.

What's the difference with mat or no mat?

Shock absorption/dampening with every step. Most kitchen floors are going to be concrete so every step has no give and the shock of the impact has no where to go but into your joints and bones.

Imagine banging your head against a brick wall over and over. Shoes are like wearing a helmet, the pads are a pillow against the wall.
