I recently quit for similar reasons. Exercise while working felt like an insurmountable thing. Exercise while on sabbatical is very challenging right now, but achievable. This depends on the person, but for many, the inability to muster the motivation to exercise is a capacity thing. The capability is there, but the capacity is used just surviving the day. Removing the work factor has freed some capacity for me. It's still a struggle, but the lack of work stress is a huge help.
