My advice would be to train for skill acquisition, like in gymnastics. There are endless skills to get, so there's plenty of variety, it's very fun IMO

L-Sit / V-Sit
tuck planche / straddle planche / full planche
handstand / handstand pushups
handstand walk / handstand pirouettes
iron cross (there are progressions for this but it's quite advanced)
back bridge
L-pullups / L-muscle-ups
rings muscle ups
Hollow Holds (with ankle weights if you want it harder)
Arch holds
back flip / front flip
pommel horse circles
etc etc

These should keep you busy quite a while. Some of these do require spécial equipment that you'll only find in a gymnasium, but most of if can be done without

I would highly recommend you try some brazilian jiu jitsu, which is a mixture of grappling/wrestling/submissions/judo. Do a drop in class. You'll be using muscles you never knew existed (a lot of hip motion and weight distribution mechanics). A lot of great condition rolling (6 minute sparring sessions) with an opponent where the fear of claustrophobia and getting choked out has you going hard.

It's basically 3d chess with a human whose body opens up a plethora of moves that you will have to drill and train in to either counter/beat. It's going to suck in the beginning but if you're looking for a workout and a challenge, you'll be hooked (no pun intended).
