Moving is good for you, provided you do it correctly and put in the work to keep your body up to the task. Eating healthy is part of this. A lot of tradesmen have bad diets, drink too much. It's not the movement and using their muscles that's aging them.
Sitting your but in a chair all day staring at a screen is far worse for you than using your body daily. Office workers regularly end up obese and almost wheel chair bound shortly after they retire.
Like what? Everything you do as a tradesmen can be done safely. They aren't moving their bodies in ways that humans aren't supposed to.
The only people that tout stuff like this are overweight office workers that sit on their butts all day trying to make excuses for their sedentary lifestyles.
I don't meet many tradesmen that have heart attacks at 40.

They actually are moving in ways people are not supposed to. Repetitive movements put massive strain on body, cumulatively. Add to it heavy weights and bad weather (in some professions) and damage becomes predictable.

Office guys do not have heart attacks at 40 all that often either. But if you think they have them more then tradesman, then you probably do not know much about tradesmen.
