Running back home from work, twice a week. I started this last year and it's great ! I have ~13kms which I cover in a bit more than 1h. That's only 10 minutes more than using the public transport and let me tell you that it's much more enjoyable !

I Highly recommend !

Running and indoor bouldering. I usually sign up for half-marathons periodically throughout the year as a forcing function to make sure I run frequently. Bouldering is challenging physically and mentally (figuring out the right way to make it up a route) and the indoor version is reasonably safe.

I run on avg 1 mile/day, and I play capoeira on avg 1-2 times/week.

I've started both 2 years ago (it was when Mark Zuckerberg was running 1mi/day), and successfully maintained both for the past 2 years.

I really like especially the running part, because I typically can't commit to anything on a daily basis, and even weekly when I travel I typically screw up my plans. With this arrangement, I know I that have to run 365mi in a year, and every month I do a check and correct my trajectory, including planning for a light period if I know I'm particularly busy with other things.
