In my own experience I've found that finding a physical activity you like is worth far more than an "efficient" activity that just ends up sapping your willpower. I, for example, hate running. I am well aware of its health benefits, but I still feel miserable while doing it.
Anecdotal tidbit - friends who are better at it than me and have enough endurance to do it until they get a runner's high, an endorphine release, actually saying it is easier to get with activities that involve the upper body more than running, e.g. sandbag training.
