A brisk walk in the morning then the evening. It soon adds up.

Has nobody suggested you just pull yourself together and crack on?...Fuck the long Covid thread off...it just attracts the flat Earther types. I'll whinge about it here :)
2 and a half years now. This morning I literally dragged myself out of bed around 9am, went downstairs for a cuppa and then crashed on the couch feeling worse than ever until around 3pm. I had the Long COVID clinic yesterday....They want me to accept it and learn to live with it! I have to keep a diary of what i do and how i feel.
I feel shit Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thur....
One thing that worries me about all that...do I have to write down every time i have a wank? I didn't ask them about that.

Cycling since the start of lockdown when I retired has been brilliant for my mental health... Two hours a few times a week when I'm not looking at my phone, getting fitter and out in nature...
I've just joined my local golf club too and it's hilly so thats also great for keeping the timber off

During the first lockdown, a mate and I went cycling down the canals around Manchester. Down the Bridgwater to Altrincham and then across to the airport and Styal.Cycling since the start of lockdown when I retired has been brilliant for my mental health...

I also caught the train up to Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire and rode back down the canal to Manchester. Never thought i could do it at 55 but...i can't now! The bike's locked away in the shed, doing nothing now.

I was fortunate to retire at 52..I’m never going to beat biology but I feel fitter than ever-I retired at 56, i'm 60 now and despite my age i've never felt fitter
I was ill a few weeks ago and my mental health suffered because I couldn’t exercise-it’s a huge part of my life now; walking, biking, weights and the biggest addiction my concept 2 rower-best thing I’ve ever bought.
I actually did 75 hard last year and found it incredibly life affirming. If people have the time I recommend it, it’s a life changing journey.
