How does one become physically active

I didn't encounter it, but I've rarely ever gotten motion sickness so it may just be me.

That is a great idea if you don't get dizzy, fall on your face, and bust your lips open. That is what would happen to me.

What really helped me was getting my friends to exercise with me. Doing it alone is really boring, but if you can get a friend to go for walks or to the gym that'd help a ton.

Using a bike for transportation instead of driving everywhere.

Although it may not be practical where urban planning revolves around driving like in the USA.

So the standing desk (and cutting back on beer) seems to be making a difference. I grabbed some shorts the other day then after putting them on realized I bought them about fifteen years ago but they fit.

Different types of exercises have different benefits, this is true for your body and even different regions of your brain. But research has shown you are most likely to stick with a form of exercise that you actually enjoy. You might have to try a bunch of things before you find something you like. I like elliptical and swimming.

The answer @OP is that you just schedule it until it becomes habit. Start off easy, maybe 3 miles on a bike, 40 minutes of jogging, 20 minutes of Yoga, push ups and sit ups until you're in the right kind of discomfort before you shower. Take any one of those things, make it a point to do them, then add on, maybe an extra mile or two on the bike, or add on the jog before the push ups, something like that. Just make small, simply achievable targets, same as how videogames are addictive because thats exactly how they get you to create habitual behavior. You get that slow drip of dopamine for completing your goal the same with a good work out as you do beating a boss in Dark Souls
