I am a technology working, so I sit on my butt most of the work day, I'm curious how people have incorporated activity into their daily habits in a sustainable way?

What activities do you find enjoyable?

I walk a couple of stations instead of taking the closest subway station. That satisfies my step counter every day: Pedometer on F-Droid

I do random YouTube workouts every 3-4 days. Everytime I do it, I track it with this app: BetterCounter on F-Droid. When the counter hits 3-4 days I workout again.

But... I had massive back problems before. I don't think I would have started this routine without the pain relief it gave me.

i like the open source callouts!

When you say random workouts, are you doing a program specifically for your back? Or is it more of Let the algorithm take the wheel?

I prefer full body workouts instead of specific back workouts. I just search for something like "30 minutes full body workout" and go from there. When there's a lack of back training in the workout, I'll through in a couple of planks at the end.
