[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”container”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Before you roll your eyes and scoff about being lectured, we\u2019re not here to tell you to cut out the beersies and the pies – we\u2019re just giving you some easy tips to keep you and your mates healthy as so you can keep on truckin\u2019 and do what you do best!<\/span><\/p>\n

Take regular breaks<\/strong><\/p>\n

This one should be easy to figure out – and it gives you an excuse to convince the boss to let you take 5. Taking breaks is super important, especially as a tradie. You work your a** off so you deserve to take a breather every now and then – especially when you need to get away from the newbie so you don\u2019t lose your sh*t.<\/span><\/p>\n

Drink tonnes of water<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, water, not beer. We said we wouldn\u2019t tell you to stop the beersies, but just save it for when you\u2019re off the clock. Being dehydrated will leave you looking like an idiot when you get wasted after one can, so drinking water throughout the day is essential when you\u2019re out in the heat and sweating it all out. Pouring water over your mates sort of counts, just don\u2019t do it near any electrical outlets! <\/span><\/p>\n

Wear sunscreen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, yeah, you don\u2019t need sunscreen, you\u2019re tougher than the sun. We all know that\u2019s bullsh*t so just slop some sunscreen on your face and be done with it. If you\u2019re worried about your mates laughing at you, just do it before you get to the site – you\u2019ll be the one laughing when they look like they\u2019ve fallen asleep on the barbie.<\/span><\/p>\n

Work on your gains<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being on the job might be a bit of a workout in itself, but it\u2019s not really enough to help your fitness. Even if you just join your mates for some footy a couple times a week, getting active and getting your heart racing (intense gaming sessions don\u2019t count), is going to help you become healthier overall – you\u2019ll be surprised how much muscle you actually have under that layer of cushioning!<\/span><\/p>\n

Good shut-eye is key<\/strong><\/p>\n

Getting a solid eight hours will help keep you on top of your game. Not only will you get to annoy your mates by being chirpy AF in the morning, you\u2019ll also ace your work and feel better overall! Plus, getting enough sleep helps you avoid making any rookie mistakes because your brain is fresh and raring to go. <\/span><\/p>\n

See, easy right? Keep healthy out there guys!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”related-post”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Related articles” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%2313143e” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”title my-5″][vc_basic_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”4″ element_width=”3″ orderby=”rand” item=”918″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1553544806702-a539c97a-5f11-2″ el_class=”related-posts mx-auto mt-3 “][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
