You can try stuff such as yoga or pilates or some other variation. Or weight train. Or calisthetics. Or some bike riding (mountain OR road), or walking or skiing or swimming.

Basically, IMO, anything a 'normal' person would do. I don't think specific forms of exercise are really 'job' dependant. Or at least I don't think that being a professional musician would have to limit you to certain forms of exercise.

Just do something that you find enjoyable and satisfying. That way you won't MIND working out and exercising. Don't lift weights if you're an outdoor person and would much rather be riding a bike on a backwoods trail. Don't swim if you'd much rather be on a treadmill where you can watch a TV.

But above all, in my eyes, ANYTHING is better than nothing! Just go out there and do something. That's what I do, and I've found that it works!
