golf - or head to a driving range
water ski
hike - on a trail near you or where you go on vacation
jump rope

go to the batting cages
put on your favorite music and dance
volleyball - or badminton or tennis
paddleboard or kayak
hang on the pull-up bars at a park
stretch or do some yoga poses at the beach or in the park
