You could try doing "fun" things instead of things that rely on endorphins. Bouldering, wrestling, soccer... Something that keeps your brain occupied as well as your muscles.

I don't really follow my own advice, but I used to boulder regularly when I lived in Berlin, and I liked it.

Bouldering I've tried --- it's okay, but it's not really aerobic exercise, which is what I'm looking for.

Competitive sports --- flat no. They just don't keep my attention.

What I do is run, because I can build that into my commute, so it doesn't feel like it's a complete waste of time. Right now I'm capable of making myself run to work twice a week, 7km each time, which is okay. Hopefully when summer comes round again I'll start running back again as well.
