For me, it's mainly about eating healthy and lots of bike riding. I had a heart attack last year, so I've been really focused on this stuff for the past year. I've recently decided to adopt a ketogenic diet (although I did break it earlier today). I started back doing a lot of bike riding again earlier this year, mostly mountain biking up until I fell and tore my rotator cuff. After that, I switched to mostly road biking until I have the surgery to get my shoulder fixed.<p>The big breakthrough for me was when I decided to start biking to work a couple of days a week. It's a 12 mile ride (one way) so the days I ride I get a pretty good workout in. My goal is to eventually reach a point where I'm doing that 3 days a week pretty consistently. That'll put me right around 75 miles a week, plus any other random riding I do.<p>Next year, after my shoulder is healed, I'll start backing with mountain biking and MTB racing again. I did one 6 hour MTB endurance race this year, but missed the rest of the season due to the shoulder injury.
I train Jujitsu and I also sit a a lot. One of the things that can make it a little harder to stay fit is muscle imbalances that can occur from constant sitting.<p>If your posture is out of balance it might be a little harder to keep an exercise routine if your body doesn't feel right.<p><a href="http://breakingmuscle.com/brazilian-jiu-jitsu/it-s-all-in-the-hips-hip-care-101-for-bjj-practitioners" rel="nofollow">http://breakingmuscle.com/brazilian-jiu-jitsu/it-s-all-in-th...</a><p><a href="https://www.defrancostraining.com/joe-ds-qlimber-11q-flexibility-routine/" rel="nofollow">https://www.defrancostraining.com/joe-ds-qlimber-11q-flexibi...</a><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B-3Khbht5s" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B-3Khbht5s</a><p>I'm in really good shape but if I don't stay stretched out and limber all of that goes out the window. I would say a good start to staying fit is minimizing the determent that siting does on the body.
Set a performance goal. Don't focus on weight loss, focus on finishing a half marathon, swimming a mile, or something else you might like to do. Then set up a training plan 3-5 days a week and keep a calendar where you get to cross off every day where you follow through (off days are freebies).

I've lost 50 pounds in 2 years. The first 30 I did with diet alone in a year. I started by cutting out alcohol, pizza, and fast food. The last 20 I lost with exercise. I hired a personal trainer and trained twice a week and worked out an additional 3 days a week on my own.
