I work for a construction company that builds skyscrapers. This involves a lot of heavy lifting and hard work. I'm the only woman on the crew and have a hard time keeping up with the guys. (Most are twice my weight.) I keep in good shape by running and stretching regularly. Any other suggestions?
Have you tried resistance training? This is the key to closing the physical gender gap in a work setting like yours. Seek the help of a competent trainer at your gym, someone who can guide you in a strength training program. The gains you make will likely help you perform your job duties more easily, while reducing your chances of getting hurt.
