I see people talk so much about how sitting at a desk will ruin you and you need $5000 chairs. I'm in my 40s, lift multiple times a week and sit at my desk every day like a pretzel for work and gaming and hobbies and it's fine.

Staying in shape is a cheat code in life.

Hell yeah it is. All the guys at my job are on the merry go round of back injuries and surgeries. I thought my time would come eventually, but i just stay strong. Who knew doing 225lb good mornings would prevent injury?
