      I have an IT company, and believe the same. We’re all working remote, and we organize competitions regularly like who is doing the most interesting sports, making the most progress, being the most consistent, etc.

      I think it’s also important for the long term sustainability of the team too, we want people to have healthy lifestyle balances and not burn out.

      I started working out because I was super weak and just had a kid, and I realized there was a legitimate risk that I wouldn’t be able to pick up my own child, so I started doing some strength training and holy crap this is amazing. Then I went back to college and lost my workout schedule, but after college I started running the following super smokey summer and didn’t make much progress, but this summer I’ve picked up biking and I’m currently up to about 3 miles of extremely hilly biking every day.

      I seriously forgot how fun biking is, and it’s also nice just how much healthier I feel from the regular fitness

      I never had to before, always had reasonably active jobs. Supervisor role and middle age and a scolding from my doctor has made a difference.

      I’ve been giving myself 20 minutes a day for the last six weeks. I haven’t really lost weight, but I do feel better.

              Yeah me too, but I haven’t gotten my shit together with diet or exercise and my doctor is taking it way too cautiously with medication.

              I’m constantly too tired t put enough energy into getting my doctor to be useful and getting myself in gear …… actually Pokémon Go is the only thing that works. Every Saturday I’ll take a 3-5 mile walk with my teens (except recently with heat waves)

      I’m 31 and I’ve always been on the nerdy side. I have ADHD which let’s me lose whole days really easy. I decided a long time ago that dripping out of college was probably the best thing that could have happened for my health. I eventually got a job working outside and I’ve never looked back. If only I didn’t have one of the (if not the) most dangerous jobs in America right now.

        Is it being a lifeguard to Donald Trump? WELL DON’T LEAVE US HANGING.
