I would like to mention the positive impact of my physical health in my current job:

  • My workspace is 6kms (3.7 miles) from my home and I prefer commuting by walk always which makes me cover at least 6 miles every day so that I burn a lot of calories even before I hit the gym at night time after the work. Bonus benefit, body fat dropped from 21% to 17% in a span of 3 months without even focussing on diet part(I know I should focus on that too ;) ).

  • I constantly run during my weekends, it started with 2 km run last year and now I can run up to 10kms in a stretch. I kind of addicted to it because I love the after run effect :D

  • Constant break and stretching during work every 30 mins for a short walk within the office helps

  • No Friday pizza parties or free sodas instead we have sports match often and a lot of devs are interested in sports that they formed a team to play badminton or football most of the mornings.
