Recommend an exercise-bait adventure cartoon?

Just for fun, want to recommend cartoons to me? I watch TV while riding my stationary bike, and my "exercise bait" selection is pivotal. Currently, I need something 20-30 minutes long to fit my morning workday schedule. Always, I need something interesting to me, ideally something so interesting that I'll get up on time and exercise for the privilege of another episode, instead of hitting the snooze button. Sometimes I can do this with well-loved shows, but... not knowing what happens next really helps with motivation!

I currently have Disney+, Paramount+, PBS Passport, and Amazon Prime (no Netflix, HBO, Showtime, Peacock, Hulu). If I can't find anything suitable that comes free with my subscriptions, I can buy, rent, or sub-subscribe (I had a $2/month Pokemon subscription on Amazon for about a year of the pandemic; it was an excellent happy place to escape to! but not a success as exercise bait; I completed the Unova arc and unsubbed). I do like good anime, though my experience runs to Rurouni Kenshin, Fushigi Yugi, Sailor Moon, Captain Harlock, and Robotech; yes, I am not young, and that's the point -- I missed everything cartoon-y that came out after, say, Darkwing Duck and Skeleton Warriors or so, and am just now getting back into the genre.

So: Avatar: The Last Airbender has been spectacular! An excellent story in just about every way -- I recommend it highly! -- and one of the best exercise-bait shows I've ever found. But, sadly, I have only one AtLA episode left, the third part of the three-part finale. I'm very sorry for it to end, even given that it's a proper moment for the story conclude. I would have happily followed these characters and their world much, much longer.
