I do a combo of walking, tennis and yoga.

walking - 30 min walk/day to walk my dog, plus a couple of 60 min walks/week with a friend

tennis - once a week tennis clinic with a friendly group of women (I wfh on Fridays and do a 9am clinic that day, but could do a Sat one if that didn’t work for my schedule)

yoga - once a week (Sun morning, bc kids’ activities tejd to be more on Saturdays), I keep this in for stretching/balance work

I like this mix as it combines exercise and social interactions (which destress me even more than the exercise itself), and I wouldn’t say it is strenous or one I can’t manage with my personal and professional commitments.

This is the answer. Do whatever brings you joy. This isn’t something you can crowdsource. Obnoxious thread.

Thirding this. The best exercise is the one you do regularly that means finding something you actually enjoy. If it feels like a chore, you won't sustain it.

I have been strength training since 28, maybe I am taking things for granted but what kind of wonders are you talking about?
It’s fun and improves sleep. But it’s certainly not magical and give me unicorns.
