I try to workout at least for 1 - 1.5 hrs everyday. Be it in morning before office or in evening after office.  
  
 And then post dinner I go for late night walks in my society and walk at least 3 kms.

how do you guys handle your fitness against the demands of a corporate desk job- Grapevine

Speaking for men, I am not aware of women's pov on this. The agency culture makes you believe that it's fine if you don't have time and energy to focus on your fitness because most of your time and energy is spent on 'work'. 
I am not saying that work isn't important. Definitely, it is and you should be dedicated to it, but not by ignoring your fitness. You have to report at 10.30 - 11 am, but your work starts as soon as you wake up and you don't know when your day will end. This makes you tired and you're not left with time to focus on any kind of exercise or activity. 
You accept the fact that you're not able to workout because of work. Even if you speak up about this to your management, they won't entertain you. They don't realise how important exercise fitness is for you to function at your best potential. My boss in my previous agency, a PR strategist, always prioritised mental and physical fitness and spoke about it to us. He also told us that your brain goes in a good direction automatically when you feel good and alive in your body, when you look fit, feel fit and feel confident. 

I see a lot of men actually putting down others who talk about fitness and encourage good health. This is not about top physic or athlete like body. This is about having some sort of physical exertion as a part of your lifestyle. This will be beneficial for you as well as your employer.

Hi everyone! Next Month, we are reaching out to corporates for their health and fitness goals. Before that, I want to understand, as a startup/corporate employee, what difficulty you face while following a diet and workout.

Corporate Health and Fitness

Basically the title!

Does anyone own one of these under desk pedal machines? Does it help? Theoretically sounds asweome, I spend long hours at my desk (like any other corporate slave) and if I constantly cycle with this it'd be very beneficial but getting a fitness tracker that reminds me every hour to get up and move was also a good move in theory that didn't quite translate that well into practice

Would appreciate any opinions!

Do under desk pedal machines help??

Guys, I am a software engineer and work remotely.

I am 25 years old but feel as if i am older. 

> Already facing heavy back pain, lower back pain. 
> Facial and body hairs are turning grey
> Already bald

Are these all common, or am I doing something fundamentally wrong?

How's your experience working as Software Engineer.

Any thoughts?

Health issues in mid 20's

Go to the gym 4,5 times a week. Follow a regime. Change your diet. Add a lot of protein and complex carbs. Eliminate oily junk food for 3-4 months. You will start seeing the difference.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have observed and experienced the way IT engineers and many other similar professionals are working a lot, spending nights and day, constantly hooked onto laptops, many of us are losing a lot of hair, have dull skin and face a lot of other issues. 

There are a lot of issues that we don't observe like fatty lever, cholesterol, vitamin deficiency, back problems and many more. These problems don't surface in 4-6 months or a year. They will be there when we maintain unhealthy lifestyle over couple of years. 

Have seen people in 35 looking like 50 with grey hair, dull skin and unhealthy. Have seen a lot of people spending day and night on laptop voluntary even after having kids. I am 100% sure no family would want to see you guys working all night. What these people will tell their family is I have a lot of work when it's not the case

Business Development Manager

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I will be starting my career in tech as an FTE next month. Although I wanted to start in a PBC, life had other plans for me.
Need some advice or maybe something which you wish you knew if you were my age for a successful career in tech.
Learning and growth at utmost priority, don't care much about wlb at least till I am not 30
PS : base is 17 but have a huge amount of loan to repay.

Need advice from millennials

At young age you should focus only on 2 things, career and money.  
  
 Career: Try to learn as much as possible in whatever you do. Take initiative and show enthusiasm for anything new. Anyone can code, but people who take initiative and has the ability to learn new things quickly are the one who make it big. Build a good relationship with your colleagues. Your network is your networth.  
  
 Try to get as much clarity in life as possible. Talk to seniors, learn about their journey, why they made certain decisions. Trust me having clarity in life as to what you wanna do in life is a cheatcode.  
  
 Money: No matter how much you make, you can always save money. Invest that money into index funds. Investing early on in life will put you years ahead of your friends. Compounding is real. Here's a simple rule you can follow: 50:20:30. Spend 50% on basic needs, 20% on your wants and invest the rest 30%.  
  
 Don't buy expensive things just to show off. Literally no one cares.

Product Manager

I am seriously asking this question, how do you work less In office, when you know you can do your work sorta easily, but you also know that whatever work you are doing is senior level work, ie not your pay scale? 🤡
I it just me or am I making sense??

How do you work less In office?

28/M - Have a complete desk job and odd hours of working (US PST Hours). Been feeling burned out and stressed off late. Completely out of shape. BMI high, Did a blood test recently and results are looking worrisome. 

New to Bangalore, Looking for some suggestions/connections to a good personal trainer and gyms. Found a lot of local gyms but don’t think I have the motivation to get things started on my own, so a good PT and gym would really help. I’m based near Malleswaram and don’t mind travelling 5kms around.

Any suggestions or connections in your networks would really help.

Anyone who has cracked it?

Gym 4 days a week. 
 6-8 hrs of work + Leetcode daily + any one other productive item 
 My recreation is music. Listening and playing, that happens in the last 2 hours of the day. It gets replaced with going out generally. 
  
 I also do a trade off between items daily, as per priority, so it sort of works out. 
  
 Anymore items and I breakdown and need a break. So avoiding burnout while being productive is a daily thing. 
  
  
 The one thing. Read this book 4 months ago, did wonders for me mentally.

I am 26 now. And started my career in 2018 when i was 21, and from my first day till now I am doing a wfh. Initially it felt good as you get lots of personal time, no travel time and expenses. And then in covid while people where panicking switching to wfh, I was already adapt to it very well. But lately I have now started seeing some negative  impacts of it.
1- Social life is at stake as I went to study outside my home town and almost lost all my connections here.
2- No personal interaction with people on higher position than you as that helps a lot in ones upbringing.
3- Following same life style for years and years.
4- Poor physical health and mental health being in a room for 8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep and 2-4 hours more depending on other tasks.

Adding to it now i feel it makes more sense having a office job which makes you feel more lively and a part of society.
