I always found walking good. That naturally leads to jogging or running at a faster pace. Tai Chi and Yoga might look easy, but they will both surprise you. Cycling also keeps one in shape. Eating properly is a must too. Try to avoid foods that feel heavy after you've eaten them. If what you've eaten makes you feel like taking a nap, that's not something you should be eating before a gig. And as Alistair said... Always stretch! That goes for playing drums too. If you go on cold, you could do serious damage to the muscles you most depend on.
