"Absurdly easy, low-key, and low-dose" sounds...well, okay, it's got my ego complaining up a storm

*nods a lot* *g*

If it's something that seems pathetically and insultingly easy when you're having a good day (whether that's in terms of energy or mood or executive functioning or pain levels or whatever), then it's something that you might actually be able to do on a bad day! Or just a tired day, or a day when you need to recover after a more strenuous thing the previous day.

And seriously, the more stuff I do, the more I'm learning to appreciate the real value of the gentle/easy stuff. It's not some sort of wimpy option that you only do because you can't do "real exercise". Especially when I'm doing strenuous stuff some of the time, I need the gentle stuff to recover (and it's good for my head).

There's a yoga teacher named J. Brown who has a vid named "Gentle is the New Advanced" which I keep meaning to check out, and yeah; I really like that as a slogan.
