I walked to work for 1 hour a day and it was hugely beneficial for my mental health, put a nice break between work and home, was able to do podcasts or study foreign languages.
After going full remote I had to force myself to replace that hour, it is psychologically a lot harder especially when the walk has no purpose. That said, you are a remote worker, so you ought to have at least 1 hour of (formerly commute) time to spend. For me, I go to the gym. It's easier to motivate myself to work out when I'm going to a specific place for it. I usually do it around lunch to break up the work day, 3x/week.
I am going the gym route, though I would either do it in the morning or the evening. As a writer, I have max 4-5 hours of useful work in me today before my frontal lobe gives up, but once I am started on a writing session, it is hard to have it interrupted.
