I'm 26. I've been sitting at my computer most of the day since I was about age 10 (Ultima Online, EverQuest, etc.) and it's been my job since about age 17. Just in the last year have I really started to think about my health and have attempted to create some good habits so that it's easier to maintain a healthy lifestyle as I get older. Here's what I've been doing: 1) Going to the gym. I've been doing a 4-day split each week (Legs + Abs/Shoulders/Back + Biceps/Triceps + Chest). I recently added 15 minutes of HIIT on a bike before starting my workout. 2) Going outside. I recently moved to Boulder so this has been an easy one. Being out in the sun regularly has made me feel a lot more happy and energetic. 3) Drinking water. I try to drink 2.5-3 liters of water a day. I track it using the FitBit app. It's harder than you think - I basically have to chug a liter when I wake up if I want to succeed for the day. I haven't noticed feeling much different, but I've gotten sick less in the last year than previous years. 4) Using a standing desk. I alternate between sitting and standing. Right now I'm standing ~25% of the time, and I'd like to increase that to 50% by the end of this year. 5) Investigating hobbies. I'm learning how to fly fish. Also working on designing and building a small aquaponic system. 6) Sleeping more. I've been trying to get ~8 hours of sleep each night.
