What, in your opinion, are the best ways of remaining fit and healthy?
Matt Walsh
Look, you want to know about staying fit and healthy? Here's the uncomfortable truth you probably don't want to hear: most of what passes for "health advice" today is complete nonsense designed to make you feel good about bad choices.
Real fitness isn't complicated - it's just hard. Lift heavy things, walk everywhere you can instead of driving, and stop eating processed garbage that comes in colorful packages. Your great-grandparents didn't need fitness influencers or supplement companies to stay in shape because they actually worked with their bodies instead of sitting in chairs all day.
The best "health hack"? Stop looking for shortcuts. Sleep eight hours, drink water instead of liquid candy, and move your body every single day like humans did for thousands of years before we invented excuses. Everything else is just marketing trying to sell you solutions to problems you created by ignoring the basics.
But here's what really matters - none of this works if you're lying to yourself about what "healthy" actually means. Being comfortable isn't the same as being healthy, and most people have confused the two completely.

What exercises can i do for my health?
Matt Walsh
You're asking the wrong question - it's not about finding the perfect exercise routine, it's about admitting you've been making this way more complicated than it needs to be.
Want real exercises that actually work? Start with what your body was designed to do: squat down and stand back up, pick things up off the ground, push things away from your chest, and pull things toward you. That's deadlifts, squats, push-ups, and pull-ups. Everything else is just fancy variations on these basic human movements.
But here's where you'll probably mess this up - you'll spend three weeks researching the "optimal" rep ranges and workout splits instead of just doing the work. Meanwhile, your neighbor who walks two miles every morning and does bodyweight exercises in his living room is getting stronger while you're still planning.
The brutal truth? The best exercise is the one you'll actually do consistently. Most people fail because they design elaborate gym routines they can't maintain, then quit when life gets busy. Twenty push-ups and a ten-minute walk beats the perfect workout plan you abandon after two weeks.
Stop overthinking it and start moving. Your body doesn't care about your excuses.
