Walking! It's easy to do, easy on the joints and it's effective.
Not to mention there are so many varieties...brisk walking, fast/slow intervals, slow steady state (great on active rest days), power walking, race walking, nordic walking, walking a dog, indoor walking using Youtube videos - some incorporate light strength training with using a resistance band, light weights, ankle/wrist weights as well. I love those!
Also walking helps with balance and posture, it's mood lifting, it helps me think and clear my mind, it helps with digestion, I get better sleep, I enjoy bonding with my family on family walks and walking after dinner helped me to completely stop my former night time snacking habit.
There are so many other pros I could list, but I love walking!4
