I've had a love-mostly-hate relationship with my elliptical for over a decade. I'd probably enjoy doing lots of swimming but there's no options nearby and going further means more planning not to mention having to be around people.
Lately I've been doing dumbbells/isometric type stuff in the morning at home at least 3 times a week and for me so far it's the perfect fit. Low cost to start, can do at home. Highly recommend trying this for the older slowing metabolism with weight and is super lazy types (me), I don't know if it's that the time spent doing work feels lower, the fact that rest between sets is part of the design, or what but I find it FAAAAR easier to get up and get done in the morning than half an hour on the elliptical ever was. I wish I'd tried this years ago.
