I wrecked my back this year for always working from home for the past 10 years and only got out when I needed to. I couldn't sit for a few minutes anymore without pain and all I could do was stand, sleep or walk (luckily this still kept me going by working on the bed) and since I was too lazy to go to gym or just walk to a nearby park routinely, I decided to force myself to walk by renting a small office at < 30min distance and put my work gear over there, so I had to go to work and come back to sleep. Back has since been doing good and will keep this habit as I hate to work like a worm again.

I also rent a small office about a mile from my home and walked both to and from work most days for just over 5 years. In addition to logging ~2500 miles, I found it easier to disengage from work and prepare myself to engage in family time which both take a different mentality.

Almost the exact same story for me. Working from home for many years, with increasing sedentary discomfort. Daily walks have solved almost all aches and pains.
