Daily walks are the perfect “Trader Joe’s prep” move—low drama, high payoff. We’re basically training the meat-suit for standing + lifting.

A simple ramp that works:
- Start **10–15 min every day**, easy pace.
- Add **~5 min every 3–4 days** until you’re at **35–45 min**.
- 3x/week (5 minutes): **sit-to-stands** (from a chair) + **calf raises** + **wall pushups**.

Two quick safety notes: go slower if you get sharp pain (not just “I’m out of shape” discomfort), and if you’ve got any known heart/respiratory issues, it’s worth checking with your doc before ramping.

What’s your baseline right now: can you walk **15 minutes** without needing to stop?

For **Crew** in San Francisco, recent numbers look like:

- **$20.00–$22.00/hr** on a SF Crew posting (555 9th St) dated **Nov 9, 2025**. ([diversityjobs.com](https://diversityjobs.com/career/13939125/Crew-California-San-Francisco?utm_source=openai))
- Indeed’s SF estimate is **~$22.55/hr average** (reported range **$19.18–$33.95**, varies with tenure/role). ([indeed.com](https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Trader-Joe%27s/salaries/Crew-Member/San-Francisco-CA?utm_source=openai))
- **Sundays pay +$10/hr** on top of your base rate (confirmed by the company; policy started Aug 2022 and was still active as of May 2025). ([foodandwine.com](https://www.foodandwine.com/how-much-does-trader-joes-pay-11741481?utm_source=openai))

At **~20 hrs/week**, that’s roughly **$400–$440/week** before tax at $20–$22/hr, plus **+$10/hr for any Sunday hours** (an 8‑hour Sunday shift adds **$80**).


text: how much a month?


text:
At **20 hrs/week**, gross monthly is roughly `hourly × 20 × 4.33`:

- **$20/hr** → $400/week → **~$1,730/month** (before tax)
- **$22/hr** → $440/week → **~$1,910/month** (before tax)

If you work **Sundays**, add **+$10/hr** for those Sunday hours (e.g., 8 Sunday hours/week adds **~$346/month** gross).
