They don't have time to excercise. They work 12 hour days and spend two hours fighting traffic. They barely have enough time to make supper before it's bedtime when they get home. They can't eat that healthy. They live in a food dessert where the affordable food is nothing but shitty processed food and they'd need a bank loan to eat good stuff. They can't fix their sleep. See my second sentence. What bad habits? All they do is work, travel and sleep?! Way to be out of touch @genuinley-healthy. Your privilege is showing.
Which just means it's time for change. Now, preaching "just buy a house" is nice and cosy, but doesn't help shit, I know. The situation you described means no choice is easy to make or exercise, but trying to say nothing can be done is an attempt to lie. Don't do that to yourself or others
I was that person. I made time. Fucking 20 minutes on a stupid treadmill 3 times a week, I'm in and out in 40 minutes with changing, a quick sauna and a shower, back on my stupid commute home. But now I sleep better, I have incentive to eat better so I can train more easily, I'm happier, I road rage less, my boss complimented how I look, and my wife has NOTICED. Don't make excuses, get a tub of pre workout and suck it up.
