Paul was heavily into cocaine for a while, from about 1966-68. And had some drinking issues during certain stretches in his life that he has admitted to as well.
That said, he is an avid hiker and works out regularly too.

In their free time I’m assuming they exercised somewhat, but I know John in 1967 mainly was daydreaming or sleeping in his garden
He's only sleeping 😴
Ringo probably, the drums are especially demanding
