People who sit at a desk 8-10 hours during the weekdays and many hours on the weekends working on side projects - how do you stay in shape?

Yes, I agree. The flow of traffic for most commuters, like myself, seem to around 75 mph. "The speed limit is commonly set at or below the 85th percentile operating speed (being th…
