Even if you had it, the real problem is time. Lifting eats up a huge, huge part of the day.

6 - leave work 6 - 6:15 Get dressed and drive to (very nearby) gym 6:15 - 6:30: Warm up 6:30 - 7:30: Lift 7:30 - 8 Mobility work 8:00 - 8:30 Shower, change, etc

More food needed, more meal prep, more sleep. Staying fit seriously cuts into "real life" - I could be passing an extra cloud / K8S / ML exam every 3 months if I studied instead.

Of course, lt health benefits, getting out of chair, etc all make it "worth it", but there is a huge cost.



My answer: get up earlier. Morning work outs seem to make my brain a lot more alert all day.

I get up at 6:30, leave home at 7:15, get to the gym at 7:30, 30 minutes of cardo, 1 hour of strength, then get back home and quickly shower, starting work at 9:30 (WFH benefit right there). I do that 3 days per week.
