Just gonna add to the chorus of "this is really easy to say when you're still in good health." You'll care when it goes bad. I had ten screws put in my spine and two discs removed a few years back, which has the unfortunate side effect of putting more strain on my hips and making them very stiff. I got lazy midway through the pandemic and totally stopped lifting for 15 months. I got a little fat, but only a little, and that wasn't really a big deal. But it destroyed my hips. They got unbelievably stiff, almost nonstop daily pain, at one point I could barely even keep having sex with my wife because the positions hurt so much. As soon as I started squatting again, all that hip pain was instantly gone, literally the next day. I'm not even talking extreme effort here. Two days a week, nowhere near a heavy weight. Just squatting at all, and so much of a quality of life boost I was missing out on for no reason, just sheer laziness and apathy. Sometimes it's worth it to do something you don't enjoy at least a few hours a week, to make all of the rest of your life more enjoyable in return.
