I don't exactly go to a gym and work out at the moment but I do have a highly active job, but I will have to look into joining a gym or something

Look into body weight exercises online. "You Are Your Own Gym" is a good one. They look deceptively easy but they aren't and you can do them at home or just about anywhere.
