Morning warm-up exercises have become mandatory on big industrial construction sites in Alberta over the past year.

Everybody does about 10 minutes of warm-up in the morning, then it's recommended they be done throughout the day after coffee and lunch breaks.

Yes, it does look funny to see some tub-o'-guts crane driver trying to touch his toes for the first time in 20 years, but nobody cuts him any slack. Drive around the site I'm on at 8 in the morning and you'll see 4500 tradespeople, all doing warm-ups. A scene to behold it is.
