Exercise, being non-sedentary, is definitely critical. I work from home, so to start I switch it up with a standing desk half the time and also try to work from multiple places throughout the house.
I do a light routine 3-4x a week. I also keep a pull-up bar a few feet from my desk and hit it all day, along with a couple minutes of pushups/squats/etc during some work breaks. Keeping up with it can be extremely hard due to ADHD and some external life factors. This includes flexibility training. Just about the only thing I don't do is run often, due to chronic sciatica and flat feet. Still having a hard time with my weight because apparently a chronic lack of sleep can cause your daily fat loss to cut in half or more. [0] I'm already eating around 1500 calories a day and still at a weight plateau. I do take vitamins. But the exercise still helps, endorphins are great.
