Exercising on your own for health usually involves a wide range of activities done in balance with one another.

Manual labor is often about performing the same task over and over again in the same way. A guy in a warehouse picking up heavy boxes over and over again. On an assembly line making the same motion with your arm/shoulder thousands of times in a workday. That’s how repetitive motion injuries occur.
