Plus I garden, until this year I had my own vegetable plot where I raised a lot of my own good for ya kinda foods, which not only gave me exercise in spreading compost, pulling weeds, hoeing around, but also improved my diet.
Minor changes in your daily routine add exercise to your life.
Such as instead of parking at the nearest parking spot at the store, park way out there near the street. Not only do you get the added exercise of the minor extra walk, you also get to take up two parking spaces and your vehicles paint job doesn't get scratched and dinged (as often).
Work in a multistory building? Then take one flight of stairs up one floor, then ride the elevator to your floor.
Pop in some dance/trance music (something with a beat) and dance with the broom as you sweep the floor, move the hips as you dust. Not only does it add exercise to your daily routine, it makes house work just a bit more fun.
The problem with the modern world is people have come associate exercise with formal gymnasium routines. Exercise is anything that is more movement than you usually do. Swimming a few laps a day, or even spending an hour in the pool once a week is exercise. Walking around the block an hour before bed time is exercise. Playing fetch with your dog is exercise.
Push ups, sit ups, jumping jacks, jump rope, squat thrusts - all of these are exercises that require little to no equiptment ( pro-tip: you don't need the rope to jump rope - just bounce up and and pretend there is a rope there).
