I think it's all about finding the right exercise for you. I've never yet plucked up the confidence to join a gym

It's a Muddy Fox Roadrunner mountain bike that we bought years ago.
I was never proficient at cycling even as a child and there was nowhere sensible for me to practice, as an adult, when we bought it so we used to transport our bikes in the VW camper to no-traffic areas (Windsor Great Park being a favourite).
Yikes
I wheeled it down to the lane here and could only just stay upright. It's another thing that has to go as I continue to de-clutter.The design of this bike is appalling.
Where on earth do adults learn to ride bikes ? No way would I go on the road

The gym I go to is at Age UK, for people aged 50+ which suits me fine. I couldn't be bothered with a gym full of youthful posers.
As for the suggestions about watching TV while using a cross-trainer at home that wouldn't work for me. Apart from TV being stupefyingly boring 95% of the time, I live in an upstairs flat and don't want my training to cause any undue noise for my lovely downstairs neighbour.

When I had my treadmill it was in the upstairs bedroom. Thank goodness or I'd be done for noise pollution
