Speaking from a US perspective, a lot of people have a misconception of what "fitness" means in the first place. They think it means signing up for expensive and unnecessary gym programs and drinking twice your weight in protein.

In reality you can do it from anywhere, it's very simple, and there's no excuse besides physical disability or laziness. I work 12 hours everyday and sometimes 16, and yet ever since taking on this job where I sit in front of a computer for the entirety of that shift, I'm in better shape then ever. That's because I've developed a consistent routine of working out.

I don't have a schedule or use an app or anything, I just do push-ups when I get home and sometimes when I'm at work too. Instead of using the elevator, I take the stairs. It's just about doing something regularly. For bonus points, get good sleep and eat better.

Very personal anecdote on my part but I hate reading "not everyone has time to workout." How much time do you need to do 10 push ups if nothing else?
