Since it was warm and sunny, I changed into shorts and went into the park with a pack containing a book, some short stories, water, the usual.
I found a pleasant shady spot and did what I think of as my mat exercises: crunches and back arches (4 sets of 15 on each), and the yoga "tree". This meant plenty of time staring up into an endless pale blue, watching orange leaves drift down, and birds fly past, and one tiny insect floating near me.
Much better than doing the same at the gym, although mats are nice. But the weather conditions are seldom right for this.
