  Scuse me. I'm in that intersection. In my 50s. I know you're partly joking, but seriously, nerds should not neglect physical fitness.

You'll enjoy your life more if you're healthy. You can be healthy at pretty much any weight and those running and pushup requirements can be replaced by a lot of good alternatives. Just don't dismiss them as impossible and irrelevant.
