It's never too late to start exercising. What you have to realize is that you're not just a brain on a stick. A neglected body will eventually be a drag on your brain. A fit body will improve every aspect of your life. Whatever your excuses, they will all be wiped away when you realize how much more energy you have when you're fit. I was a sedentary working-from-home consultant, so sedentary that my appetite disappeared. The doctor couldn't figure it out, but I did and prescribed myself a bicycle. Biked myself to exhaustion every night until it took too long to reach exhaustion. Now I bike, rock climb (mostly in gyms) and do yoga (I've done enough classes that I can do it at home by rote now). I recommend rock climbing as an ideal geek exercise (unless you're obese): never boring, because it requires mental focus, planning, determination, etc. It starts easy, and you see results if you do it once a week, amazing results if more often. It most often requires a buddy (who needn't be at the same level) so you get a bit of human contact. Also the gyms are packed with hot bodies, and you can be one of them! You'll never know which exercise is right for you until you try a bunch. One of them is sure to keep your interest.
