Skipping
I just wanted to post about an exercise I've been doing through lockdown that's very underrated - skipping. I'm a 57 year old bloke, average height and weight, with visions of floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee. Some hope!

Making a bicycle into an exercise bike?
I would like to be able to change my ordinary bicycle so I can use it as an exercise bike at home to help with my fitness and confidence before going out on cycle paths.

Unlike other major brands, the majority of whom have vouched to freeze memberships free of charge, and will not be taking further direct debit payments while the ban is in place, Total Fitness appears to be wanting their members to stay the course and, I assume, to continue paying the full monthly membership charge.
