The "everything hurts" part comes a lot later if you don't live a sedentary lifestyle.
Even with an office job, you have at least 8 hours a day when you're not forced to sit on a chair or sleeping. Use them!
You don't have to sit down at an office job either. Standing desks are great for staying more active IMHO.
We're getting adjustable desks next year. Can't wait!
Nice. We got convertible desks a few years ago. It's done wonders for my weight management. My job requires me to step away from the computer frequently, and the ability to stand most of the work day just makes things feel easier.
Well I wish the pay was better this is why I like having a cooking job. Literally busy moving all day. I don't even have to exercise outside of work. Though I do go on a lot of bike rides.
That's the only thing that hasn't happened to me yet, but I see it in my cohort. I used to blame people for not being active enough, but now I realize we're all just biological beings whose job is to reproduce, ensure offspring survival, then everything after that, there's no real biological reason for it so nothing drives longer useful lifespan.
Oh well.
Yeah, many people have chronic illnesses that either cause pain or drain energy, and it becomes hard or impossible to remain active and pain-free. Ever since developing mine in late 20s, I'm far less judgemental and more understanding of people's situations.
