aside from typing or texting? 
I'm going to walk but it's too hot outside so I'll head over to the gym. It'll be boring but comfortable.
What are you doing today?
= new reply since forum marked as read
I have lost more than 50 pounds the past year and to date (since August 31), have walked 2,260 miles per fitbit. I have yet to miss a day, rain or (heavy snow) and slather on the mosquito repellent to walk early in the AM or late PM in the hot summer time.
Of course, I have to credit my very very very active doggy companion--who keeps me motivated! 
OK, she was his to start with but I took him for a few a day. I found it harder to leave my Sammy than my parents. 
I don't mind walking in the rain. Can't say I get the chance to walk in the snow.

Tells how to get exercise from routine, daily activities that we all have to do.

Well there is that.
I tend to bend over backwards.
If other people are cold, I am comfortable. If other people are comfortable, I am hot. If other people are hot, I am boiling hot!
Nothing too strenuous... just weeding and trimming. 
I try to walk a mile several times a week when the weather cooperates.
Last summer I just rode an indoor exercise bike or did nothing.
I hate yard work. My sister loves it and loves it when the weather is blazing hot. It's work!!!
I thought about it a few weeks ago. Have yet to get started. I don't know why!!!!
I bet you feel great with your workout. I don't seem to have a routine but I try to do something every day.
I suffer from depression, and the exercise helps keeps the "beast" at bay. I'm 54 and take no medication of any kind. I've been working out for a long time. When you get started on your sit ups, do it slowly at first. It will eventually become a habit.
... and now, a nap.
Walked about two miles around the neighborhood, then played (walked) nine holes of golf. Now I have to do some shoveling in the backyard. I hope my shovel hits a pot of gold, but unlikely. I have dug up some trash from when the house was built, in the 1920s, so that was pretty neat, if monetarily not as good as gold.
But first, a cuppa coffee and a doughnut. All things in moderation.
I rarely get that many steps in unless there's something going on like a road race.
... there's a risk of her regurgitating if she's handled too much right after...
She's docile and easily handled, even when she's hungry... so some time-out of her tank is a good thing.
She may even get to go swim in the bath-tub!
Later, she gets moved into her 'feeding tank' -- a large, clear plastic, lidded storage tub... so if she misses when she goes to strike-at her prey, she won't get a bloody-nose on the sidewall (like she might on glass).
Afterward, however, she needs to be put back promptly in her habitat, so she can find a dark, quiet spot, and begin to digest her meal.
California-humid today so I'll probably just stay in and do pint-curls...
followed by a stop at a much-favored burger stand ('cause, you know, protein or something like that 
)
The weather has returned to normal--the apocalypse is over--and we're moving on to the stage where we all repeat things like "wadja thinka that rain, huh?" and "we sure needed that, you know?"
it is a little bit harder when it is very hot and humid, especially early in the mornings.
Sometimes, if I am at 9,000 steps, I'll jog inside the house, around the kitchen and living room, until I get 10,000. I always wonder if neighbors across the street can look into our house and see me doing some weird stuff, like Elaine (Seinfeld) dance moves ... I'll do it anyways until my Fitbit buzzes when I reached the 10,000.
I am 7,933 right now at 6:15 pm and should get there by the time I get to bed
Getting out of bed and playing the piano. Do those count? I am good enough on the piano to get out of breath. 
No public swimming pool or gym nearby. Heat indices of 104 to 107 this week, according to the local weatherman.
Ninety-six to ninety-nine degrees plus serious humuggity.
Late evening after sunset I go outside and water the plants when it's still about 90.
Staying inside in the air conditioning and drinking lots of decaf iced tea.
same amount of time I waited past my appt time at the docs this morning 
I read where 30" a day 5 days a week is beneficial in preventing high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., so I invented this routine where I race around doing 25" inside the house and 25" outside the house. That's 20" more than the minimum requirement.
Here's what I do outside, 5" each. I use a timer:
trim
weed
feed (like compost bushes, plants, etc.)
seed
clean (like rake leaves, whatever)
inside:
clean (like vacuum)
scrub (like scrub a floor)
throw stuff out (run around throwing out anything that needs it)
move (as in move stuff that's being reorganized, like winter clothes to the attic, put tools away, etc.)
wild card (anything that needs to be done that requires a certain intensity of activity

p.s. and I do a lot of walking all over campus, dragging books, my fan, etc.
