1. Bike to work, every day. Where I live the traffic is so miserable that it's comparable to driving in terms of time. It's the single thing that makes the biggest difference in how I feel.
2. Every other day, do some basic body-weight strength exercises (pull-ups, push-ups, and the like). Bicycling is great for cardio and it works your legs a little, but that's it. It's good to keep all your major muscle groups engaged on a regular basis.
3. Use a standing desk, to encourage small movements throughout the day. Standing all day doesn't feel good and isn't good for you, either; I aim for about 50/50 standing and sitting.
