I'm lucky enough to be able to walk or cycle to work, and I avoid using the car as much as possible again for mental health reasons - driving in Sydney is an assault on anyones mental health, mainly because of the attitude of drivers rather than the long delays.
Integrating exercise into your daily routine is the best way for me too. The only exercise I enjoy doing for the sake of it is cycling, but walking and cycling around town to work and the shops etc kills two or more birds with one stone. I feel sorry for people who don't have that option because of a long commute and the absence of decent public transport in their area.
