I'm also not one looking to bulk up w/ weights, and when I'm away from work I like meditative things

I find it a bit funny you say that because I used to be "bulked up with weights" (now I mostly walk/run with a little weightlifting added) and I found it to be a very meditative experience. The euphoria of pushing a barbell off your chest, the total physical drain at the end of a set of heavy squats led me to a place where I was completely focused inward and totally at peace.

In fact I think it was that mental relaxation that kept me doing it for all those years.

I was the same way for several years, but nowadays I find lifting quite boring and not relaxing, so I had to find other activities.
