I always say that as a developer, I'll be one of the first to die come the apocalypse. I'll be the useless guy with nothing to trade and no survival skills.

Keep yourself fit and at least you’ll be a good laborer.

Ok, I'll need coders after the apocalypse and you can't just make someone a laborer that hasn't done that their whole life, that's not how that works. No gym fit is farmer fit enough.

You can, my brother and I worked on my Uncle's farm over the summmers for at least ages 14-18 and had no special "laborer" training, we went from high school classes to slopping hog, feeding cows, stacking hay, etc. Sore muscles and blisters are the norm for the first few weeks, but it doesn't take long for muscles to adapt and callouses to form.

Pretty sure all slavers from the last 10,000 years would disagree. It doesn’t take that long to get used to manual labor.

Go to gym during the week and do gardening/landscaping work on weekends. Should get you a good portion of the way there.

Until I crack a tooth or something and go mad from the constant pain.

No reason you can’t do both.
