Ideally I'd drive out of town a bit to get away from people before I start my ride somewhere nicer but I'm not entirely sure if thats Achtung Vebotan or not?
We don't have Sanchin (Shorin Ryu Seibukan), I like Passai but for condition our "basic" kata Seisan is pretty good. Or sometimes I just do them in the order they are taught. I tend to leave Pinans out but like Naifanchis better, both groups are from outside the main line but still kind of included.Interesting, which one?

Burpees.... Just Burpees... enough to make you puke and you to feel like an out of body experience has occured.
. My partner has barbells but too light for me. I have a 12kg kettlebell but never found exercises with it that I liked. Need strength or resistance training I think.
Seisan is nice, my main ones at the moment are tensho - good for relaxation - naihanchi - can do it in very limited space and I'm slowly going through bassai and niseish as they're the new ones on my syllabus. I run through them all everyday from pinina nidan all the way through then concentrate on a specific one for a while.

mostly because there's no resistance adjustment possible.
Doing a kata tends to keep one not floating away.About the only thing stopping me going nuts at the moment
Yep I do kata, slowly with "perfect" technique and real attention to detail, as well as a full speed, as well as completely relaxed just to run through the moves. All good in their own way and all add to the experience. I also look at quite a lot of Ian Abernethy's bunkai breakdowns and explanations - after doing a couple of seminars with him - to me understanding the move in a variety of ways makes it more real than attacking multiple ninjas from multiple directions and they're pretty good on youtube.Doing a kata tends to keep one not floating away.
Have you ever tried doing a kata veery slowly Tai Chi - style and concentrate on doing the movements exactly right and with correct timing? Gives a change. Just remember to do a normal speed one at the end.
We have one club that arranges a "100 kata" every year, doing one kata a hundred times. The renzokuzukigeris in Seisan would kill me, so if I ever get the temporary mental disorder to participate I'll chose something easier.
