> Find more moments to move throughout your day. While your food’s heating up, do some squats or take a lap around your work building instead of scrolling through social media. When you’re running errands, park as far away from stores as possible. Getting coffee with a friend? Catch up during a walk in the park instead of sitting in the coffee shop.

The last one about taking a walk with a friend sounds nice, but the other ones sound like the worst ways to get activity ever

Constantly forcing yourself to do things is hard and probably will fail. If you find things you enjoy doing, getting activity can be a treat rather than a chore, regardless if it's taking a dog for a walk, going to every museum in town, or finding a sport you like

Wrong mindset in my opinion. Uncomfortable workouts are for delayed satisfaction of a more healthy outcome. I actually think you have it backwards. I think it's more likely you exercise less and never reach consistency if you expect all exercise to be enjoyable.
