Seems like your issue is motivation, not staying fit. Maybe align with colleagues for "exercise time" or even meet in person if they are close. You can still do your walking or cycling commute if you want to! Book meetings in your calendar for Youtube yoga.

My routine is to do a walk every day while wfh, about 4 miles give or take. I do yoga or meditation as required. I go cycling or kayaking for fun a couple of times a week.

I hacked my motivation by making cycling to work my exercise (~1h, 12km/day). Now I have "covid belly" :( We (Ireland) had some brutal lockdown restrictions for quite a while, including a 5km distance-from-home limit. I could get stopped by police twice daily simply doing the grocery shopping.

But it's nearly springtime here, and things are improving now.

Good luck to you! I'm in the UK - England, had some lockdowns, in the first one I got a puncture on a bike ride 10 miles from home and felt bad struggling to fix it. A guy stopped and helped and gave me some respect for humanity, it was a big deal at the time!

I won't be locked down to a specific distance in the future as this was never "law" in England, at least as interpreted by my local policeman friend, I'll quote him if asked! I too need to revisit the regularity and volume of exercise, but I'm not doing too bad considering. Nearly at the 2 year work from home anniversary!
