  >> You sound like a CrossFit person haha No just an inherently sedentary programmer - I'm no CrossFit evangelist - it's just a highly time efficient way to meet the goal of being fitter and returning to programming. I think the secret to actually exercising is understanding what you do and do not like and finding exercise that suits you. If I go to the gym on my own I get bored and I do not push myself thus I do not get much fitter. So CrossFit is part of the success secret for me because it is effectively a group gym program in which I must do what I am told whilst I am there - unlike going to the gym on my own, getting bored and lazy and dropping it because it's not working for me. Since I am too lazy to exercise intensively I need to be in a structured environment to do that. Going to a group exercise class requires nothing more of you than turning up - motivating yourself just to arrive somewhere is much easier to do than motivating yourself to self plan and self drive an entire workout.
