> The body requires a lot of maintenance and has limited energy
Weight training 3x week takes around 270 minutes. Add rowing / swimming 2-3 week for some 30 to 60 minutes. That's ~330 minutes a week, nothing.

Then you start taking into account that you hate physical exercise (I've tried group sport, gym, running, swimming, walking etc...) and you start treating it like a job and instead of being relaxing is another chore. So not only I'm doing something just for maintenance, but it feels like work (in my case, it is work) and while I'm sweating at the gym I'm not doing something I'm really interested in and after the supposedly beneficial exercise my mental energy is too depleted to do the things I really want to do.
I'm never been more miserable than when I exercise regularly: "nothing" you say, uh?
Exercise is also a job to me.
I started doing this again today!
I have also enjoyed biking, but I don't feel very safe doing it in the city.
Also, hiking and group outdoor games. This requires effort to set up, so it will take some time before I can do this regularly.
Exercise causes you to release endorphins - it's normal for people to feel better or experience positive effects after exercise.
Maybe it's the type of exercise. I would start by walking / light yoga and try to add up to it until you hate it.
We're animals, we're meant to move and your health will suffer if you don't.
