38yo dude, sitting in front of my computer the whole day since I was 14yo. Dad of a 5yo.

My weekly "sport" schedule: - 2× 14km (8.7 miles) run - 2× gym (strength training, full body training, compound exercises) - 1× 1 hour swim (1.5-2km)

My recommendation to someone who wants to start is to find something you like, no matter how trivial it seems, and try to do it consistently until it's no longer a chore. Then, try to build up and add more things to complement that. I started running three years ago and going to the gym two years ago. The first year of the gym was very inconsistent. Started swimming 3 weeks ago.

There are some "nasty" habits that I avoid (based on my own personal experience) to keep myself motivated: - I run no matter the weather. It's more satisfying to finish a run during a shitty day (snow, rain, slush) - I don't expect continuous improvement or any improvement at all. It's all ups and downs (weight at the gym, speed when I run, etc.). Staying consistent is key. Imperfect progress is still progress, and everything you do eventually counts. - Keep trying things and see what sticks. I'm currently trying push-ups and cardio after the gym when I wake up. I do not know how long I will do them, but I'm trying.
