That's what I do -- I used to keep an hour blocked off of my calendar for "commute time", now I use that time to workout.

At the beginning of the quarantine, I bought a spinning bike (I've been thinking about getting one for over a year, but going to the gym spinning classes a couple times a week was relatively convenient since the gym was near work). I also invested in a set of dumbbells.

Now I work out 5 days a week -- alternating between spinning and strength training. If I miss the morning exercise for any reason, it's easy to fit in a 15 minute session sometime during the day, something that was much harder to do when I was going to the gym for exercise.

I don't think I'll ever return to the gym now that I've experienced the convenience of working out at home in a virtual online class.

I hear you! As a lazy slob, I find that it's really important to remove any possible obstacle to working out that my mind can latch onto. So being locked down with nothing fun to do and time back from my commute has actually been a godsend for my physical fitness.
