Yeah, and the stress of telling your body that it always needs to do better to survive probably makes you age faster.

There’s diminishing marginal returns from exercise. So there’s probably a sweet spot of how much you want to do it. Same with work. And for many people, same with spending time with friends and family.

There’s an implicit belief in a lot of this thread that more is better and that happiness is down the road of doing more things. That’s stupid and wrong for almost all of us. And ironically, your career, health and relationships all suffer if you push too hard and don’t let them breathe. The real joys are found sitting watching the sunset, with a good meal with the people we love. It doesn’t get better than that.
