I just exercise enough to feel better. The bikes make me feel better; sometimes when I don't ride them that far or that fast.
Time to haul out the kayaks, check the hiking & backpacking gear, and plan a summer trip with the grandkids.
Only 3 posts later and
I'm eating crow.
All the threads about becoming superman, and well-muscled cyclist got me thinking about the free Medicare gym benefit (new to Medicare personally.) The closest gym, only 4 miles from home, is in the program. Signing up next week - will update with my weight, HIIT and Zoned Out programs. And must not forget the acre of yard/garden maintenance that is in full Spring Swing.
A forest bordered yard/garden feels nice to me. But dang the vine-ey weeds are a multi-week bending & pulling & digging exercise session.
edit: Last gym or fitness club membership pre-dates my 40years as a cyclist. It was a club membership to play tennis mostly, but the steam room, jacuzzi, cold shower rotation was excellent.
