I used to run until my knee informed me that was no longer an option. I practiced aikido until COVID, when that became impossible due to the partner problem. Now I cycle, swim, and skateboard. I def want to get back into aikido when my kids grow up a bit more.

Exercise machines are a shitcoin. If it's boring or torturous you will find excuses to avoid exercise and your health and mental state will suffer. You gotta find stuff that is fun. Personally, I love to combine exercise with learning a skill. I've always had a tendency to favor solo outdoor activities and that trend has continued as demands on my time grow year over year.
