Buy one of those cheap ocules headsets and if you don't like it or get bored you can probably get most of your money back by selling it. And yeah the facebook integartion stuff sucks but there aren't really any other options in that price range or with a similar ability to just pick up and go with it.
It may seem obvious but it really does vary from person to person. For some people it may just mean staying slender, for other people it might mean being able to run a 5k on a whim at a respectable time. The answers for how you can avoid the gym and maintain that are going to vary.
Realistically the most straightforward solution is to build it into your day. Walk around, ride a bike places. You can do some calisthenics at home for strength.
Eat a high protein diet.
Get your T levels checked if you are a man.
Work on increasing your metabolism if it is slow.
If your hormones are good, and you don’t eat too much, and eat a high protein diet you will remain in shape.
VR boxing. High cardio, works a reasonable amount of muscle groups. 30 minutes should be plenty, and there's other VR stuff you can try although none quite as good for fitness.

I hate gym too (also mid 30s), and use the hate as a tool. I hate it so much, that nothing will stop me from going, because I'm always at the lowest possible desire level anyway. I don't care if the weather is bad, if my mood is bad, or anything else. I just deliver myself to the place no matter what. For over 13 years now. (People who like gym risk not going when they don't like it. I have no such risk. I'm not teth…
I got a personal trainer 7 months ago, and it's been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I find having someone besides myself to feel accountable to very motivating.
It's also nice to have someone walk you through all the movements, proper form, and telling you what to eat.
When I started with the personal trainer; I was skinny, lanky, nerd. In the last 7 months, I've added 25LBs of muscle. I'm still a lanky nerd, but I'm now a stronger lanky nerd!

Do you have one that you recommend? The two I've seen are Creed, and one whose name currently escapes me but is cheaper. The latter I have heard is a more "authentic" experience, while Creed is more of a game.
30 minutes a day? For weight management, it'd be hard to beat High Intensity Interval Training, particularly with a jump rope (if you don't mind dropping some cash, the weighted jump ropes from Crossrope are pretty slick). If it's more about maintaining strength, I'd get yourself a copy of Pavel Tsatsouline's Kettlebell: Simple and Sinister, and a kettlebell or two that fit your size and strength, and get swinging. B…
Pavel's S&S, or other anti-glycoletic training methods due work well for me as there is no soreness or need for recovery. I incorporate long walks (5 miles or more) daily to get in the cardio, sometimes go for a run or hard hike.
- 3 rounds of jump rope
- 3 rounds of shadowboxing
- 3 rounds of punching bag
That's 27 mins and great and fun cardio.
