I hate exercise. It makes me feel bad. Buuut I think after 28 goddamn years I finally found a solo exercise activity that I don't hate - Audio Trip on the Oculus Quest with some weights strapped to my wrists. It's exhausting and I also don't hate it. I kinda like it actually.

Well I thought hikes and sports engage the brain because they engage my brain and the brains of the people I know. Hard to exercise if it's a slog. Try mindfulness while exercising. If you can't distract, then fully pay attention and fully accept all the feelings that arise.

I can think about other things while I'm hiking! I can think about what I'm gonna do today or eat later, I have tons of extra brain space. I can't do this at all when I'm doing high intensity social dance or VR exercise game levels.

Have you ever tried a martial art? Like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or Muay Thai? That could be psychologically engaging.

I have similar challenges and like fencing and HEMA cause they are very tactical, game theoretic and brainy
