Once Covid forced my startup to WFH, I started doing body weight exercise and using some cheap resistance bands I bought when I would have otherwise been commuting. Previously, I’d been a runner doing 3ish runs a week. I can’t tell you how much more energy and mental focus I have now that I’ve put on more muscle and am stronger.
The biggest change I made to get into the habit as a founder was giving myself the mental permission to work out instead of feeling like I should be working. And I’ve found that even with the time dedicated to exercise, I tend to get more done because I’m more focused. Lowering the barrier to entry with home equipment really helped me.
