Ideal career would be a split between office and physical work. 3 days coding, 2 days carpentry etc.

I lift weights, walk, or hit some golf balls at the golf range every day during the week, about ~1h / day. Over the weekend I'll play some golf, go for a walk or squeeze in an extra workout.

It might not compensate all the sitting and typing fully but it's pretty good - I don't miss doing a day of physical labor.
