Physical activity that is fun and not repetitive? Seeking Advice

I used to go to the gym but whenever I did it made me feel more drained mentally. I know that a part of it is supposed to be draining before you see results I honestly had no idea what my purpose of going was apart from social cred.

I need physical activity for my mental health. But I don't want to do something that is insufferable

  1. a tolerable daily form of exercise i can do from home maybe yoga or pilates. i used to find pilates intolerable though - have no interest in strengthening my core unless it's with purpose
  2. deliberate/more purposeful physical activity i can do occassionally/ eventually - the kinda stuff that may encourage supplementary training; like bouldering or calisthenics; tennis, basketball, jiu jitsu, training of some kind i don't know what else is out there.

For now, stuff that is easier to access would be helpful too because I am still learning to drive and am kinda broke.

I got back into exercising six months ago after a lengthy hiatus by doing YouTube workouts while watching housewives

Fitbymik and Body by Simone are the channels I'm using and they're great.
