- use bicycle if you can; there're even plenty of upcoming electric bicycles that allow you to combine exercise with commute in case when road to work is too long - start bouldering - I found it an ideal sport for programmers; it combines problem solving with exercise, it doesn't require you to be social (myself, I've always found lifting weights to be... well, too public). I've noticed that it not only allowed me to be more healthy, but also to be more social as well - while I still have my headphones on, when I notice that somebody has a problem with a route I sometimes have a chat. - prepare your own food - near my place there's a street marker offering fresh fruits; I've always felt bad, as they'd offer, for example 3 cauliflowers for a pound and what do you do with all that, so 2 of them would get wasted. But then I committed to buying it even in bulk quantities, and well - this week I've made a soup, a casserole and some boiled cauliflowers (and I'm fed up with cauliflower for now), but you should get my point ;)
