I love my work, and doing something 80-90 hours a week that I love hardly seems like a problem. :-) I work 7 days a week, so it works out to around 12 hours a day. That gives me 4 hours of 'other' time if I sleep 8 hours a night.

I think his point is that regardless of the measures you're taking, your health will likely suffer.

I'd hazard sitting a lot in a 40 hour job and moving around the rest may be safer.

My point is that unless we come up with some concrete definition of what "work" is, it's rather pointless to talk about its effects. A weight lifter might refer to 'work' as exercising. A truck driver might refer to 'work' as driving a truck. Those two forms of 'work' have a much different affect on your health.
I would be surprised if weight lifters train for 80 hours a week though
regardless of whether you love it or not, somebody better be paying you bucketloads of overtime for that
