A rebounder/indoor trampoline is fun and easy to use for a few minutes and then go back to what you were doing.

I bike! Both to work, general transportation (for example grocery shopping) and just for fun.
My dogs demanding to be walked. Which is one of the many reasons I wanted a dog in the first place. It worked. 😌
Aggressive foreplay followed by prolonged vaginal intercourse.
Lately by talking ~3 mile walks.
15 minutes a day, the only thing you need is a stopwatch.
I got a personal trainer at a small local gym to do strength training. I meet with them twice a week and then go by myself a third day during the week; all three days I go before work. Pros are that I'm much stronger than I was 2 years ago, cons are that it does cost money and I do have to get up earlier to be there, but it's pretty easy to get up early when you paid someone for their time to meet you there.
Lifelong lazy person here. I got a Fitbit. At first I just used it for counting my steps and heart rate, but after a while I decided to I crease my cardio load. Being able to see the data of my progress really helped. The steps goal is a big one too (I also work a desk job). It helped me keep mindful of how much I need to move. After a few months it was so much easier.
I found a gym-quality elliptical on Craigslist a couple of years back, and if I walk/run at a pace between 50-60 rpm’s, I can walk about 2.5 miles in 30 minutes.
Simple calisthenics and stretches every morning. Hip extensions, shoulder rotations, toe touches, etc. Quick and easy and feel much better after. I do these during breaks throughout the day.
After work it depends on time of year and weather. Kayak, mountain bike, snowboard. Hiking or rail trail is fine too.
Doing step challenges and tracking steps keeps me walking. I try for 10k steps a day and use Samsung Health's monthly challenge on my phone as gamification to keep walking daily.
I'm lucky to have a relatively nice bicycle lane network in my city so I use it whenever I have to get groceries or whatever. Not that I have a car, but I wouldn't want to drive anyway. Cycling is also a hell of a lot better than the bus.
Sometimes I don't need groceries and just feel like a slug or whatever, so I do a bunch of jumping jacks until I start breathing hard.
Job has a lot of walking. If can't get lucky and combine....
Do some body weight exercises in between another task. Like oh I'm about to smoke a bowl do push-ups until collapse.
Started walking to work but again this is not a universal fix for everyone.
I need Motivation and often trick myself into doing some activities. Mostly per videogames. I try to do at least one Minigame per day and it actually helps with my Back-Pain. Continuity is key.
VR:
- Beat Saber
- Superhot
Nintendo Wii/Switch:
- Wii Sports
- Just Dance
The Superhot time gimmick immediately turned me off of the game. It's there something wrong with me?

I'd love to get a Valve Index kit, but I just can't justify the purchase right now! 😅

Being active is so important to your health. Take where you're at and just build on it. One thing I always tell myself is that things won't get better if I don't act on it. Yeah, I want to loose 10 lbs so I'll start exercising and eating less. Tomorrow. Nope, it's got to start now. And give yourself some grace. Changing habits is hard and you will backslide. Don't beat yourself up, just awknowledge the slip and say you'll try to do better.
I basically live in an M. C. Escher painting so I just go walk outside which no matter where I go it's uphill both ways.
I took up ice hockey as an adult.
If you try hard, it's an insanely good workout.
I've been threatening to do this for years. Irregular hours have meant that I've skipped this idea, and rugby. I guess I'd love to go just for the workout and for the extra circle of friends, but I don't want to be wasting folks time when I'm not going to be able to make games consistently.
I enjoyed playing roller hockey when I was younger and I know getting the skates back on after thirty years will be a challenge, maybe I'll give this a go again.
I started by just going to drop in games rather than joining a league. You may or may not be able to do the same depending on your availabile rink(s)
You can find instructions online for stretches and exercises, but that doesn't hold my interest. I bit the bullet and joined a gym, going a couple of times a week to keep loose. Maybe I could do the stuff I do there at home (after purchasing some equipment), but I think the environment is worth the expense. I don't talk to anyone else except to greet the staff, but I like the fact that other people are around and it's a space dedicated to working out.
I'm disabled so I spend like 16 hours a day in my chair, but I try to do 30 minutes on my exercise bike every morning.
I do not. It is very easy.
