I'm starting to feel my age. I get tired quicker. My health isn't what it used to be. I get the feeling that staring at a computer screen and sitting down all day in an office is not particularly healthy.
Has anyone got any tips how to improve mental and physical well-being?
* Drink as much water as you can and try and eat a mixture of freshly prepared food when you can.
* Work out and pick something you enjoy - currently I go kayaking, go to the gym and do yoga during the week and try to get out at the weekend into the countryside.
* Walk when you can, get outside and breathe fresh air
* Try to sleep (or at least be in bed) for around 8 hours a day
* Try to relax doing something not involving computers or tv each day
I was starting to wonder that my parents in their 70s seemed to have more energy than me but sleep deprivation can get you down after a while. Be positive and do what you can - it can be a downward spiral otherwise!
I've started noticing this since having kids. Not got a concrete answer but try some of the following: * Drink as much water as you can and try and eat a mixture of freshly prepared food when you can. * Work out and pick something you enjoy - currently I go kayaking, go to the gym and do yoga during the week and try to get out at the weekend into the countryside. * Walk when you can, get outside and breathe fresh air…
I think I also need to get out and do some sport. Do you find yoga helps a lot? A friend suggested this to me too.
I'm a freelancer, been 100% remote for the last 3 years. I rent desk space at a coworking space that is a mile and a half from my house. My car is broken, I'm lazy about fixing it (actually, I'm just going to get rid of it) and I hate buses, so it forces me to walk.

- Pick an activity, whether it's working out, taking a walk, running, yoga, wall climbing. It doesn't matter. Something even as doing squats and jumping jacks makes you feel more energized.
- Sleep, can't tell you how important this is. Personally, I don't get enough sleep, but I'm trying.
- Hobbies. Find something you love to do and do it. Try to learn something new. It's different for everyone, but everyone loves something.

People may have different fitness goals, but for someone who is untrained by far the best thing they can do is a strength program for 3-5 months before training more specifically for their goals. I'd recommend Starting Strength, which is a simple and popular program (popular is important, because like certain programming languages it has tons of community support behind it so it's easy to ask questions and get answers). http://www.startingstrength.com/
