That too. I was just talking about that with someone last night. I hate the whole going to the gym and working out thing but I enjoy getting out and riding my bike or just walking and doing some very simple weight training. I'd gotten into a bit of a lazy routine earlier this year and getting back to it made me feel like a different person, mentally and physically.
I credit this for back in the 2020 Covid mess I caught it from a bunch of family and it lasted like a day for me, because I was walking 2-3 miles a day on average then. Most of the family I caught it from get out of breath on a single flight of stairs and of course they actually get sick. They don't want to listen to me though, they don't have time they are so busy, the food channel or whatever isn't going to watch itself.
I have always compared my exercise routine to a bear: Other than the machining job, when it is winter I dont do a ton of exercise except some simple indoor stuff. But once spring, summer, and fall hit, I am out hiking on trails through the prairie in my state, biking the trail that goes around my town (with about 30 mile round trip), and swimming when the weather is warm enough. Then winter hits and I go right back inside.
To that end, I dont get sick with anything, never mind Covid.
