Healthy Side Gigs
I was thinking a potential idea to combine increasing income and get healthier would be to have a side gig that actually is a form of cardio exercise. Two I could think of are mowing lawns and walking dogs. These could be done within your own neighbourhood and all you'd have to do is print some flyers to advertise. Are there any others you can think of that would allow one to make money doing something that can be done for a few hours 1-2 days a week, is going to be a cardio exercise of some sort and doesn't require any major skills/accreditations? Bonus points if it requires minimal equipment/startup costs.

Dishwashing, forestry, farm assistance, and janitorial.

Hmm, I can definitely add dishwashing and janitorial to the list of possible options. The other two not so much as they would require a decent amount of travel requiring a car to get to any place that would require that work. Could be options to others who are near such opportunities though. Thanks.

Helping people move; there are apps for this now.

You can get paid to teach group exercise classes. You'll do it along with the class, and it usually comes with a free gym membership.
The bar to entry at most gyms is minimal. Some as little as a weekend course.

Re: Healthy Side Gigs
I understand from a friend who owns a dog that there are apps that connect dog owners to dog walkers, an "uber for dog walking" if you will, so you wouldn't even need to advertise. Or to even do it on a schedule, as I understand it - just whenever you felt like it. Don't remember what it's called and I've never seen it / tried it.

I think it snowed once...year before last.

Unfortunately, though being a bike messenger might work in densely populated areas, almost none of Texas even the big cities are all that densely populated. Also there are virtually no bicycle lanes and people aren't used to dealing with cyclists at all. Once I move closer to work I will be cycling to work, but it'll be avoiding any large roads.
