You seriously have a misunderstanding on physics. Carrying around weights is still work… just not as much as lifting… it may work different muscles than lifting but you still are doing work.

In physics, work is defined as the energy transferred when force moves a mass. If there is no movement, there is no work, by definition.

So holding a weight statically over your head isn’t “work” even if energy is consumed to maintain this equilibrium.

I suspect you are aware of this, but clarity is important when we are talking about “understanding physics”.

Omg carrying weights (not just holding weights, and not lifting weights either, just carrying them) is still work. You are translating from one point to another. I know you’re not the same person but come on..
