2-3 Gymnastic Strength and callisthenics session (incorporating mobility and static strength stuff too) per week.

Short 20 minute yoga/stretch most days.

Walking most days. Hiking at the weekends if I can.

I used to work with the fittest dev team around. We'd run bootcamps together in the park every second day. At least one of them went on to become a personal trainer.

Never stress yourself through exercise. Think of it as training your body to move instead. If you are feeling depleted by your routine, you're going for too much intensity - it puts you off. Little and often is the way forward.

This might sound like a lot but the ROI in terms of energy, mental health and feeling good about myself is huge.
