Walking is a great exercise, tons of stuff on Youtube - I like Yoga by Adrienne. Without knowing what type of access you have to gym/equipment, it's hard to give any advice.

What are your goals?
What kind of workouts appeal to you?
Without knowing your goals and capabilities people can't give you personalised advice.1 -
walking workouts, there are a number of youtube videos available for free. I created a list and simple add them to the list and use . There are other workouts on youtube such as HIIT, resistant training and more.
Also what I have done is a UNO workout each color is an exercise I pull one card for example red equals jumping jacks I pull a red card and the number is 9 I perform 9 jumping jacks and I would do this for 30 it's fun and different.
There are also exercise dice available at 5 & below.
If you have apple iphone of course apple fitness dance workouts.
There are affordable weights at 5 & below you can start lifting from the comfort of your home, also jump rope

Walking is the most accessible for most people, and it’s free (though I learned from personal experience that it helps to have appropriate and well fitting shoes!).
If it’s a matter of getting started, there was a lady a while back who started by walking to her mailbox, then adding a fence list, a telephone pole, neighbors mailbox etc. after a couple of months she amazed herself when she realized she was walking a mile or two per day.
Exercise doesn’t have to be earth shattering.
Your profile pic reminds me of a lovely lady I do aquafit with several times a weeks. If you’ve got any joint or mobility issues, aquafit is very forgiving and gentle. And the great thing about it is, the more you throw into it, the more you get out of it. I can “turn a move ring” on my fitness watch in an aquafit class if I hump it.1 -
PS walking + podcasts is a blast. There’s truly a podcast for every interest.
I listen to several fitness podcasts, a couple of home decorating ones, some comedy ones, but my guilty pleasure is true crime. A walk will be over on a jiffy if your mind is entertained.0 -
Just go out an get some exercise. If you haven't been exercising regularly, walking is a great place to start. I'm not really much of a "workout" guy other than the weight room a few times per week...mostly I'm just recreationally active and enjoy road cycling, mountain biking, hiking, swimming and playing with my kids in the pool, kayaking, walking my dog, etc. I just try to do something active everyday, but I'm not particularly big on random "workouts" for regular exercise. For myself, it has to be something fun and enjoyable or I'd never be consistent with it.3

I concur with water being great if one has joint/mobility issues.
While I am very active outdoors, when the hot weather forces me indoors, traditional workouts, even ones that claim to be for beginners, are hard on my bad knees. However, I have had good luck with Classical Stretch/Essentrics. There are a few workouts available on YouTube, and many DVDs available in my library system. Miranda has a program on PBS. I currently have the 30 episodes of season 10 checked out, as well as her mobility/bone strengthening DVD.

Leslie Sansone Walk At Home workouts on YouTube… great place to start if you’re uncoordinated and just getting started. It’s pretty easy stuff, but if you really put some effort into it as you get fitter, it can be a good solid cardio workout. Get some 5 or even 3 lb dumbbells to begin toning your arms. Learn some simple moves. The most important thing is to just keep going. Find what you Like, Make it Fun, and Do it Often.1

Agree on the Leslie Sansone. Her walking workouts are very easily customizable, either easier or harder. She talks constantly; I make sure to mute the sound when I play her videos1 -

Someone with knee issues may have difficulty with Leslie Sansone. I can do regular walking outside for 4 miles, but 15 minutes into one of her workouts, which I was modifying, and my knees started to hurt.
I'm not having knee problems with Classical Stretch/Essentrics, but am annoyed with the constant talking. I've been wanting to memorize workouts before muting them, but will reconsider.
I think my Tai Chi teacher, Ann Swanson, does the right amount of talking. I mostly get her on ompractice.com (free for veterans and employees of certain VA locations) but she has this Tai Chi playlist on youtube as well:

Walk. That's the only exercise I did to reach goal. I do more now as I feel great and have energy. I ride an ebike a lot and hike more. Walking though is very sustainable.1
