– why is working a manual labor job (construction, manufacturing, etc) destructive to your body but going to the gym every day isn’t?

I’m an electrician and a lot of the older guys at my job have so many knee and back issues but I always see older people who went to the gym every day look and feel great

Bath are equally destructive if you don’t carefully do it correctly. I’m 50 and work in “the trades” and I can tell you I’m in better physical shape than a lot of my friends who have traditional office jobs. 

It’s absolutely true that if you spend 20 years on your knees laying carpet, it’s going to mess you up. But spend the same time sitting at a desk breathing recycled farts and black mold from the HVAC system, is pretty bad as well.
