Hello /fit/, what exercises that I can do at home would help me most with a labor intensive job I start on August 20th?
I've been basically sitting on my ass doing nothing for the last year and now I've got a job that is hard labor carrying steel and drywall for 10 hours a day and don't want to burn out first day on the job
SS (read sticky)

Pushups and pull ups and dips for hours everyday

I don't have any money to go to a gym

Lol good luck OP if you've basically been basement dwelling for a year and are now working drywall and steel you're fucked lmao. I know gym rats who couldn't even last doing that job and they lived for working out

Yeah I've been warned about how hard it is but I've basically got to keep this job because it pays 27$ an hour and any other job around here pays 12 an hour which doesn't give me enough to move out of parents
Start Couch25K immediately, that'll build up your cardio pretty quickly. If you can't afford to use a gym, do some bodyweight shit.

I've been going on runs the past few days to get my cardio up

You'll want good cardio for labor jobs
Some general mobility and stretching might also help to get the rusty joints in order.
If you're young you might be fine anyways, nothing like hard work to build some muscles.

I'm 24 I'm just worried about not being strong enough to last all day moving shit

With these sorts of jobs, as long as you can do reasonably OK on your first day, they're more interested if you come back the next day. They shouldn't expect you to be as good as everyone already working there, as long as you put the effort in and keep turning up. Overtime you'll improve anyway.

This OP
They don't expect you to be perfect the first day, jobs like that take adapting to
