I was in that same boat. I set myself a minimum daily target, and a target. I used exercise calories (measured by my watch).
100/day as a minimum (15 minute walk hits this), 150/day target. When my 30-day average exceeds my target? That’s my new target. Helps build, and I can count cardio, resistance, and stretching.
I started that 180 days ago, just before my 54th birthday.
My average is now 800 calories/day of exercise, split between biking, running, lifting, rowing, walking, and stretching.

How broken are Boston roadways?
This morning, I have an appt at MGH. I live just off I-93. MGH is also just off I-93.
The fastest route in this morning was to take surface roads, crossing I-93 multiple times.
