This is marginally related to MGTOW but it's important to remind everyone none-the-less.
I read an article about how many of my countrymen (USA) are suffering from joint pains. I've pasted the link and some excerpts at the bottom of this.
Your health is key to "going your own way" and "doing your own thing". No matter what your hobbies are, having good health is paramount to enjoying them.
Your muscles and joints are a crucial aspect of your health. It's difficult to play sports or even go for a walk when you have knee or ankle pain. It's hard to even engage in sedentary activities, such as programming or video games, when you have carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis in your wrists and hands.
I encourage everyone to exercise regularly. It doesn't have to be intense exercises such as circuit training/powerlifting/martial arts/etc. Daily walking, stretching/range-of-motion, and push-ups can do wonders for maintaining a basic level of health that enables you to do whatever it is you enjoy doing.
Also, being crippled by pain hinders your ability to work, i.e. earn money for your self. I'm not exaggerating. According to the article below, tens-of-millions of Americans are affected by this. Hard to enjoy life if you are in constant discomfort.

Increasing number of Americans suffer from severe joint pain
In the United States, “arthritis affected an estimated 52.5 million [22.7 percent] adults in 2010-2012 and has been projected to affect 78.4 million adults by 2040,” wrote the team led by CDC researcher Kamil Barbour.
Among adults who said they were disabled or unable to work, severe joint pain was cited by nearly 46 percent and 52 percent, respectively.
