This Drabble strip speaks to me. (Edited to fix link.)

The issue with exercise for me isn't physical exertion; it's time. I'll grant that the net gain is likely to be higher than depicted here. That doesn't motivate me; I find my actual time now more valuable than my hypothetical time at the age of 90.

I got myself moving more by doing a little scribbling of my own about my morning commute:
-a bit more than half a mile walking if I take the T, with two changes, about 40-45 minutes
-about 3 miles walking, with stops for traffic lights, about 55-60 minutes.
So the opportunity cost for me is 10-20 minutes for much more walking (not to mention avoidance of being crammed into a train, with the resultant temperatures).

Not going to work for everyone, of course, but perhaps there are regular errands that could change modes of transportation without too much fuss? (Not ones that involve schlepping of large quantities of stuff, obviously.)
