Group Manager of a Industrial Products Company.
I travel about 40% of the time and eat too many business meals. I'll need to use the fitness room at the hotels as I travel. I've rented bikes in the summer and skied in the winter while traveling.

Pre-Press supervisor. Definitely a desk job. Although I walk like 2 miles a day around the shop because I can't sit still.

The Rock Cycle
I bike 3 miles to my p/t GIS Tech job at the local BLM field office.
I have been driving 66.6 miles out of town to my other p/t job as a field assistant doing geologic mapping. I get paid mileage for this job.
When college classes are in session, I walk to school.

It's a running gag at my office that after 3 years, I still don't have a title, but "white collar" analyst/accountant type - desk job.

Desk job, but they just got us fancy new desks with adjustable heights so we can stand up to work once in a while. We got a memo that we could burn more calories if we worked standing up. I'm not kidding.

Golf course maintenance.
Riding a mower isn't so hard, but some of the other stuff we do is very labor intensive. Most of the labor intensive projects aren't short tasks, but often take hours, usually days to complete.

TV News. I'd say it's a desk job but I mostly run.
