After a walk with the wife, i did some random lifts with random weights and some crunches and leg lifts.
Not exactly a scientifically laid out program, but it was movement and not watching TV.
Unsolicited advice here, but i think if you schedule something, it really helps get the habit going.
You could even schedule just one of your days a week at first, if more than that seems problematic.
Most important is to schedule what you KNOW you will adhere to.
You can fill in with unstructured stuff too, i'm not going to say that doesn't have value, i've just never tried it.
But that's me, and i'm really only offering one of the (most important) things that helps me.
IMO, developing the habit of lifting is what has kept me going, and is
far more important than any number you lift.
Develop the habit, and everything else will follow.
Best most recent example are my pullups, which are my least favorite thing.
I do a set immediately after i finish bench, then one as i'm uploading my camera to my desktop, then another and another each step of the way as i'm trimming my post for IG, until all 7 sets are done .
Almost every bench day, i have the thought i'll skip accessories, but i haven't done so yet this run.
The habit is stronger than willpower.
Doing that first set of pullups without hesitation means everything will get done.
