'Exercised' Explains Why It Can Be Hard to Commit to Working Out

Riding my bike to work kind of filled in items 2 and 3 for me, since work requires me to show up, and I usually have nothing else going on in the morning that can interfere. In the evening, well, now I can only get home if I ride.

Eventually it got to be a habit and then something that is hard to live without. I've substituted taking long walks while working from home.

YES, so much this.

When I worked from home for a few years and now again with COVID, I have to think about working out. When I ride to work it's just natural. I always thought of it as free workout because it only takes a little more time on bike than driving. Plus you save a bunch of money on gas and wear on your car.

While working from home, I've slotted my morning walk for a time when it's too early for me to think. ;-)

I never found cycling to do any good for me. I need to run or work out.
