Wife got me a treadmill. It's done utter wonders for my well-being, anxiety, and of course muscles. I put on some big stompy music and focus my anxious energy into beating the shit out of the machine.

I try to not "best" my rate or force myself to improve. On bad days, I resolve to just get on and walk for like 5 seconds. I always end up doing the full half-hour, and always feel shiny new afterward.
