Same here. I’m cheating though because I’m Dutch, so cycling is really accessible here. I don’t even have a car, so I pretty much have to go by bike.
Running works for me because it’s so easy to start with. For most other sports I have to go somewhere to do it or prepare all kinds of gear. For running I just change clothes, put on my running shoes, and I’m ready to go. The low threshold before I can start, and the low complexity thereafter is what made running stick and what doesn’t make most other things stick.
Cycle commuting to work and running. Nothing else has stuck
Same here. Exercise being a means to an end such as transportation works much better for me than regimented exercise for the sake of fitness.
I did this tricking myself by telling me “Im not exercising, I’m just commuting.” went from a 10 minute daily ride to 1+hrs.
