I am with you on this. I run three times a week because not able to run two consecutive days (well, I am able to, actually, but the legs woulnd't be happy about).

Not quite sure what you mean by hating stereotypes. However, I do know that I love Crossfit. Each day is new, and the people going through the same self-imposed torture are awesome.

The stereotypical developer. I'll spare you of the criteria but I don't fit into any of those buckets, except being introverted.

I bowl 3 times a week for a couple of hours.
Plus walk / run every other day for 2 to 3 miles; rain or shine
Quit soda pop and fast food 2 years ago, quit coffee and hard liquor 10 years ago,
but I still smoke cigarettes and drink cheap beer and water.

Because none of the lies is appropriate. So I'll say rarely, if ever.

not exercise, not daily, not weekly. I don't even remember when was the last time I played cricket, football or anything.
Actually I miss that active life I had back in 2010, before becoming a "so-called" software engineer! I was the captain of football team for my city, because computer was something that I used rarely. I played football like most of the time of my day. I went outside to the river (River Chenab) that is like 15 minutes far, I ran all the way there and then came back sprinting all the way. I was very active kid.
Then this incident happened and now I just sit all the day in front of my laptop, building solutions and so so bla bla. I hate this life! But I don't get myself to quit it.

I've started riding a unicycle for distance this year. Get out a few times a week for 4 - 10 miles a time. When I come back, I'm exhausted and refreshed! Almost 150 miles in the last 3 months.

Wow. That's amazing. I've seen a unicyclist on our bike paths once. The kid had abdominal muscles like you wouldn't believe.

Better fine motor controls on my abs, but if you saw me, you would think otherwise. I'm over 230lbs with a body by Microsoft  But if you want something hard enough, you can make it happen!

Don't feel bad. I fight really hard to keep my weight down. I got up to 217 lbs last winter, and the lowest I've gotten it this summer is 213  .
Weight is deceptive. One of the guys I work with weighs in the 260's, but he's run over 25 marathons.

Doesn't take into account one's general health. I have a heart condition and can only do walking briskly as exercise, I do 3 kilometres a day, weather permitting.

I fence twice a week at the local fencing club. It's incredible exercise, and we get to stab each other! As a great side effect I found that fencing improved my problem solving skills and my reaction time. Fencing is a lot of fun and cheaper than softball.

Now, if I could just find a fencing partner from sales or marketing...

I hate going to the gym. See it as a monumental waste of my time. Fortunately, always been fit and healthy without having to do very much. We do walk every day, at least 2-5 miles. That is pleasurable and no strain on the joints. The wife swims every day. I prefer a shower.

The question wasn't about going to a gym, and I'm don't see how being more fit is a "monumental waste" of anybody's time. It's even more of a waste of time when faced with a physically strenuous task and I can't do it efficiently because of some deficiency in my fitness. Whether you get that fitness from going to a gym or somewhere else is besides the point.

Yeah that happens every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. If it were up to my dog it would be every day.
Aside from that I laze about on visual studio fixing existing issues and bugging up more as I see em, surf the net n' such from my home with a fridge right over there.
Sucking down Coke Zero. (finally a diet soda I can stand, if it's cold).

I've been working out since I was 15 and plan to the rest of my life. I got started because athletics and it stuck with me. I could not imagine living life unhealthy and out of shape.
The side effects are that people judge me by how I look rather than who I am. It happened in college and still does today.

You just can't win.
If you say that's problem because you look good, realize that people judge people for looking bad or average or for just about any little thing.

I look alright. For a 46 year old, I probably look real good. I resemble an American football safety or running back with a receding hair line. I lift weights 5 times a week and do an 1.5 hours of cardio a week.
The problem is that I don't look like an IT guy or educated guy. People expect that IT or educated people are supposed to look a particular way. The preconception is played out on TV commercials, TV shows, and movies everyday. I have learned that it is unfair to judge someone by their physical appearance, even though most people do.

And now the jocks wanna look like the nerds.

Embrace looking atypical! Rebuffing stereotypes is so much fun.
