That reminds me of a story that I read ages ago. It happened in the 1980s.

This group of programmers had taken to exercising while waiting for compiles. They were all buff. Then Turbo Pascal came out and they all turned back into couch potatoes. :-)

Exercise. That's what I'm supposed to be doing while Maven downloads the Internet.
