For what it’s worth, try bringing the exercise to you. If you like cycling, set up a turbo trainer or exercise bike in your house. If you like weightlifting, get some dumbbells or a sandbag or a squat rack. Reduce the friction and set yourself a goal of doing 1 repetition or 1 minute of exercise a day. It’s such a trivial amount and you’ve reduced the friction of doing the task to such an amount that it makes it much easier to get a consistent habit going.

You can also bake in exercise into your daily life. Rather than drive 5 mins to the grocery store and put the groceries in your trunk, walk for 15 and carry them by hand. You can even do curls, squats, deadlifts, and overhead presses with your grocery bags along the way (in college I'd do this with beer cases, they are about a pound per can). It's also easy to add few more steps to your day you wouldn't normally do, like taking a lap around your house before you leave and when you get back. Take the scenic route to the neighborhood mailbox when you drop off a letter. Go up and down your stairs twice.
