What do you do when you have to work out, but you don’t want to?

Many days, before a planned bike ride, I think I am feeling like crap and I should just forget it for the day.  But then, I usually summon up the energy to get dressed and I go for a ride anyway.

Some of those days are my best days on the bike!  When I return from my ride, I think how glad I am that I didn't stay home.   :)

I agree with this. My best bike riding day came after I rode an 80 miler the day before and was both tight and sore the next day and could barely move. I didn’t want to go but pushed my way through it. And then something glorious happened. The best biking day of my life.

Yada yada yada… This is somehow about Kzoo! Yada yada… beer…farting….walk with a binder…elevator.

This is far better than ANY @jsharr parody, except, of course, when he adds a custom avatar for Kzoo in the parody.  That's a rare gem for him.

I gave been very irregular in exercise and am trying to get back on track.

If I don't feel like doing any dedicated exercise, I try to make sure I do something that burns calories even if it's just walking the dog.

Same. I don’t have a dog, though. I usually turn on some music and clean the house.

I could look into that. Maybe the Cafe needs a Dredge Meter? I feel a vocation stirring. 

Min = 0  Max = 1.

There would be no reason for any dredge to rate higher than a 1 (a Meh).  In fact, a rating that high would be impossible in a sane world as well, so maybe Min = Max where Min = 0???

You make it seem like there’s a reason for a rating. 
I’ll add that the joy of “the bot” rating is the binary “like: don’t like”. No rules, no grammar to it.

Before my recent electrical upgrade, I moved Wo2's virtually unused (ever) treadmill back into the living space. I walk while the kettle comes to a boil, I walk the 4 minutes it takes my French press to steep, I walk ~8 minutes before dinner, I walk ~8 minutes after the news & a maybe one more time before bed.

I've been walking 4-5 times per day at work. We have a fenced/walled in area where I can do a couple of figure 8s in about 7 minutes, ~750 steps/event.
