Since January 16, I've been making a good faith effort to go to the local park and do a full circuit of their jogging track (2.95 miles) each weekday. I don't go fast, it's time outdoors and that's all to the good. I've been going kilted, of course, with compression shorts to prevent chafing, and alternate with a large ALICE pack stuffed with a fifty pound bag of play sand, or with wrist weights doing "sun gods". Some days I'll do two laps---it's all to the good, and the gut is just disappearing, day by day.
