I use to live a sedentary lifestyle, writing code, watching movies and sitting around. smoking and drinking. eating unhealthy foods by 29 i was winded walking up a flight of stairs. bp >130/75 and a resting heart rate of 90-100. around 33 i started developing outdoor hobbies, bought a farm. and now own a framing business. last week my bp was 121/71 with a resting heart rate of 57. the girl who took my bp asked me if i took blood pressure medication (!). needless to say i dont. find something active and athletic that you like to do, and do it. not suggesting changing careers but give yourself opportunities to exercise doing something you find fun. for me it turned out to be building structures and working outside. i still write code for fun. but the change of pace has been great. and the money is stellar. regardless, getting over a love affair with comfort did me a lot of good
