I also get bored with normal exercise and found, when I was a teenager, that martial arts motivated me enough to do exercise. Motivated probably isn't the correct word because I wasn't thinking about becoming good at fist fights or tournaments. Now that I think about it, the key for me might be exercise being a side product of some activity, with some authority telling me what to do.
Fast forward to now and I've tried running programs like Couch to 5k and tried walking and it just doesn't "stick". Fitness trackers annoy me because I can just dismiss things. Pandemic has me in worst shape I've been in, I'll blame pandemic but really I have had ample opportunity to exercise over the last 18 months.
> Just see if you can find something physical that you enjoy for its own sake, and then roll with it.

I think this is the key for software people.
