FWIW, I've worked with numerous "high-level developers" who were quite fit. Not all of them had 19" biceps like this guy, but they were all pretty athletic. I'm talking a former pro cyclists, a jujitsu coach, someone who competed Iron Man competitions well into his 50s, an ultra marathon runner, a parkour gym owner, a pro tag player (yes this is a thing), a competitive TKD sparrer, plus lots of people who work out everyday just to be healthy. My last job had a team "strong man" board where people would post up their bench/deadlift/squat numbers.
It's pretty common for great developers to have interests outside of computers.

The end goal isn't to tell us any useful information, it's just a list of vague best practices that could be packaged up into a motivational swindle - in this case, piggybacking a global pandemic with content that isn't particularly related.
And of course it’s targeted at the audience that has the least amount of likelihood of having any significant trouble due to the pandemic.
Software developers:
In high demand (and not a healthcare worker?) Check!
Can work from home? Check!
High income? Check!
Making a guide for that kind of person’s “survival” is pretty much an insult to the doctors and nurses who are fighting not only for their patients’ survival but their own.
