Some older trades guys are still in great shape and actually enjoy work in the field sometimes as a break. They may be supers on a job site and then do work on the side as well so they don't lose touch of their skills. It is also exercise in a way to help them stay healthier. It is no different than an older ex bodybuilder going to the gym to try and stay in decent shape.
Bullshit , most of them are out of shape ,they eat like shit , drink like a fish , many do drugs , they look like shit ........................
