I joined some local recreational sports leagues in the last couple years, and plan to stay involved even if I go back to the office. It probably depends on the particular league (and you), but I've found the social expectation to show up helps keep me going even on days when I otherwise wouldn't feel like exercising. It's also just more fun IMO and provides a good replacement for IRL coworker banter. FWIW the league I joined that I enjoy the most and remain the most involved in is a sport I'd never played before with people I'd never met before. A good league will facilitate meeting people, and there are usually beginner brackets available. On the off chance you are in a cold weather area and want an outdoor winter sport, I highly recommend looking into platform tennis.
