| One of the gym instructors who mentored me post-diagnosis told me that not all exercise is enjoyable, but barring injury it is always beneficial. I think of that in every gym session I do. I'm fortunate because my company pays half of my fees (they see it as sort of investment in good health, less days of sick). I go 4x week during lunch and do 2 or 3 spin sessions and weights on the other days.
If you have a bike, lower the tire pressure a little so you have to work harder to cover the same distance as a normal pressure tire. The extra effort to do even a short distance can have more benefit than a 3x the length journey of the normal bike. In other words, ride hard, not 'smart'!
