Prof. Peterson seems in pretty good shape for a late-50s academic. Here's his daily routine: 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run EVERY SINGLE DAY!

That is a hell of a lot better than a lazy and sedentary schlub, but it's not a program we would recommend. It's not varied enough, for one thing. Repetition builds efficiency, and thus reduces effectiveness.  Anyway, the Prof has high vitality and productivity so it works for him.

Years ago, I ran 10k every morning in the dark. A complete waste of time even though I enjoyed the supposedly "healthy" ritual. Since I know Peterson's IQ is at least 20 points above mine, I would not presume to give him fitness advice though.

Here's his advice to younger people, which is basically something like "Do anything, do not feel "above" any sort of work, grab any opportunity, be humble. Life is very difficult so you need to be in it as much as you can."
