Doing sport is what I started to recommend recently to all my friends who are 30+ based on my experience. It improved my life, my body, happiness, energy, sexual drive and I feel and look better than 10 years ago. For a consultant and engineering lead it had an additional benefit to look fit and dynamic for my clients and co-workers :)
Working full time and (if you want to do more) studying or coding at home becomes hardy sustainable and a problem in 30s. It is in our interest to prioritize the health of our only body, the holder of our brains, a thing we so heavily rely on for basically every activity.
It is so amazing how our bodies can reshape and adopt to physical activities we do! You can pick sport to shape your body in a desired way. My example: I am quite small, sturdy, with tendency to become fat if I do not do enough sport. I did bjj + gym for a few years - I looked like “squared”, the mixture of wide shoulders, muscles, and fat - a bit like Fedor Emelianenko. A few months ago I fully switched to running (2-3 times a week 10-15 km) plus endurance 1-2 times a week of bodyweight exercises. Within 2 months my body adopted to my new activities - I became slimmer, lighter, with stronger legs.
