Doing exercise for exercise's sake is difficult for me too. I'm lucky that my work is a half hour bike ride, and this is faster than catching public transport (though not quite as fast as driving). That's enough to motivate me to ride to and from work most days. Plus for me it's the most enjoyable mode of transport - the speed combined with the immediacy of your surroundings, being able to hear and smell everything. And it's mostly free (barring initial purchase and maintenance costs, which are minimal).

It gets my heartrate up, though I don't ride every day, so I'm not sure if I'm reaching the threshold for the recommended amount of exercise. But it's better than nothing.
