Used to do a lot up to the age of 35, then it tailed off. I mostly only do Parkruns now, every time I think about upping my runs or playing a sport, I get injured!
Non-smoker (pointless) Non-drinker (don't like the taste) Don't do drugs (Don't want to mass with my brain, plus don't know where the money goes) Eat fairly well, though I have a condition where my body doesn't produce it's own chocolate, so I have to eat it.

Yeah, would love to up my running and fitness. I hear dark chocolate is a healthy option; any excuse to eat a bit.
I go right into the mud with my people partly to get better shots and partly to reassure that I'm on hand to help if anyone gets really stuck. Which means I end up mired to the waist with just hands kept clean to run the cameras, and as Lady Jasmine put it when I took her for her first mud shoot 21 years ago, "afterwards you ache in muscles you didn't know you had!"
I've been slacking with my fitness over the last few weeks need to pick back up. Even when I'm not hitting the gym to do resistance training and cardio time, I try to keep at least some activity going. On days I don't go to the gym I try to do two sets of 25 pushups over the course of the day and do some air squats and stretching.

I stick to muddy puddles rather than getting knee-deep

I like walking, but mainly exploring beautiful urban locations and seaside resorts. It's great to see you do so much to keep active.
A while ago I'd get home from work...do 50 sit ups, 50 pushups, stretch, then go out for an hour jog/run...yea...one morning I fell because I was running like an asshole ridiculously fast down a hill...walk/limped the rest of the way home. Stopped for a while. Got back into it...hurt my back at work and stopped again. I haven't really been out since. I guess you could call it laziness. I don't feel like throwing an hour of my day into that, especially after working extra hours, I'm always feeling way too beat after work...but now we've got more help, I am doing less cases at work, and typically not having to work extra hours, so maybe I'll try to get back into it.
I'm in decent shape as is, the jogging wasn't really helping anything? Maybe giving me more energy? But in all honesty, all I think it did was make my legs and feet hurt all the time.
I have a really physical job. Lots of heavy lifting, moving, getting up and down from the floor over and over again, stepping up onto two milkcrates, stepping down off them...so every year when I have my wellness checkup, they ask me what I do for exercise, I say "I go to work."
As for clean living, I guess you could say I believe in it? I've never smoked, drank or did any drugs. I've never had the urge. I eat like shit, but hey, a least I don't do drugs and alcohol right? My main problem is not being able to sleep good. I sleep in like tiny cycles. Fall asleep, wake up an hour later, toss and turn...maybe fall asleep for a couple hours...wake up again...I kind of envy people who can sleep 8 hours straight through. My nights off suck. I stay up some of the day usually, sleep, wake up, then it's night time and it's like "Well now I can finally watch some movies, or read a book..." Nope, I start nodding off...but only for a couple hours...wake up...try to resume reading or watching something...nod off again...wake up shortly after...my dang body, just SLEEP and be done with it!
Walks, cycling on zwift and swimming... Although I haven't made it to the pool this year, not done that much on the bike and if you've seen my thread in the Messy Minds group, walks are all I'm getting and that's with help... Never gotvthe appeal of a gym - a lot of machines and things I can't see to use.
