I've been (attempting to) take each (of 2) child out for a walk each day for exercise and a bit of 1:1 time. Mostly the streets are quiet enough and the locals aware enough that we can do this safely and easily keep 2m from others. However, the children don't always want to come out, and I'm feeling the need for more intense exercise than walking with them gets me.
I've dug out some old aerobics DVDs and made some space in my living room in front of the TV, and I'm currently doing that twice a week when children & spouse are busy elsewhere. I started at once a week, and intend to get up to 3x a week and then work up the intensity options.
I did consider taking up running again, but I was always a bit self-conscious running in public while fat, and the additional worry about keeping distance from others is tipping the idea over from "fun" to "too stressful", whereas in my living room no-one is judging me except maybe the cat.
