Hi there - In the summer months, I have my bike on a static trainer arrangement, when I'm not peddling it around the lanes. That becomes a bit like an exercise bike.

If I'm using it that way, I tend to have my iPad propped up in a suitable place, and watch something on iPlayer, or such like.

It's amazing how the time flies when we're not necessarily concentrating on the effort we're making.

The term “new normal “
That’s awesome! I really think exercise is essential.

I managed to finally get a stationary bike as they are pretty much sold out everywhere and have been using it for at least 30mins a day alongside low carbs. Slow and steady but it's working. It's one of those sit down bikes so no standing but it does what I need

I have signed up to iFit and it plays through my tablet and although I don't have one of those expensive bikes that changes incline, the tweaking of resistance offers a challenge.

It's great to see improvements. You'll quickly find your RPM goes up and you can go for longer, faster at higher resistance :)
