Turn the passive watching into something a bit active if you can. I like watching TV, and I sometimes try to analyze the data from them. Similarly, if you like watching youtube videos, maybe examine what it is that excites you about them, if any, analyze and introspect.

What sucks about exercise tips is that I live in Florida where there is nowhere to hike.
Stroads everywhere so I canβt bike.
Gyms? Not unless I pay $150 a month.
Walking? Oh right, stroads.
Itβs fucking built to be depressing here. I hate Florida.
Maybe swimming for exercise? Not in a gator-pond, but are there local community pools nearby?
Fishing. Itβs outside, you get to meet interesting persons, there is a collection side in it and you can reach modest goals which is doing a lot of good.
Go for a bike ride.
If you can afford it, I highly recommend getting an ebike. It can open up a larger range where you can travel if you aren't in the best of shape.
Rollerskating. I started rollerskating last year. Not only is it fun... But it's also great cardio. I was overweight and lost 50 pounds. I don't snore anymore. I don't have high blood pressure anymore. And it's stimulating mentally every time you learn a new move. Not to mention you meet some great people with cool vibes.
Ride a bike. You get exercise, sunlight, cheap transportation, thrills/adventure, and good feelings, it's a win win
And if possible, find a local social bicycling group near you. Adds even more benefits when you are riding with a group
