This is hands down the most important advice and what I tell everyone around me. Find something active that you ENJOY. Even better if the thing you enjoy requires your body to progressively improve to unlock more enjoyment from your new active hobby.

Beyond that it can be anything: dancing, martial arts, swimming, cycling, football, handstands, skateboarding

Exercise for exercise's sake is really awful and abstract for most people. Like why carry a bunch of weights if you never feel like you need that strength.

The best thing I find (where possible) is a bit of competition to necessitate progress but that's only one possible solution..
