Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

So far roughly half the time I'm on the bike-like machine with pedals, and the other half it's a mix of doing stuff with dumbbells and other assorted calisthenics type stuff. Anything that keeps the heart rate up.
The impression I get of the common wisdom — after reading all about it in the course of convincing myself to try actual exercise — is that as long as you do at least 10 or 15 minutes at a time it doesn't make much difference whether you do a little every day or 75 minutes twice a week.
This seems possible. I'm gonna try it 10 minutes a day. Just bike thingy and a little stretching. Ease into it. When do you drink the 6 pack of beer? During or after the work out?
Stretching, good call. I try to get in a little after the 20 minutes is up but should probably do more.

twice a week is the minimum, perhaps below. You need rest days, but too much means you body adapts to rest and you never gain.
