Also!

I highly recommend making one of the options stupidly easy and low-key. Something that feels ridiculously low-dose for you.

Like, ten minutes of something really gentle. Five minutes. Done listening to a podcast or watching TV, if that's something you enjoy.

(Looking up "restorative yoga" poses could be good for this.)

The idea is to make the bar so low that you can manage to do it even on really bad days, most of the time. Sometimes you'll do it and then find actually you now feel like doing a bit more, sometimes you won't, and that's fine.

And (aside from helping build the habit of exercise), a short stint of something like restorative yoga can actually be enough to make a difference in how you feel (at least in my experience, YMMV, etcc.).
