Stretch and exercise.

It's going to determine how long you live 99% of the time. Yes there are those rare people that can smoke 20 packs a day and live to 110, that's not you.

If you don't start stretching and exercising now, you're not going to see past 60 and your life from 40+ is going to be nothing but pain, doctors visits and expensive medicine until eventually you die.

So just go do 10 minutes stretching and 20 minutes of exercise.

    Heh, I was in the gym and doing the seated row. Went to pull back the handles at a reasonable weight, nothing I hadn't done before and then I feel this thump in my back. Instant agonized pain, face goes white (a neat trick for me), sweat all over and i nearly black out.

    Moral of the story? Work out, stay active, but also watching your form becomes much more important later in life.
