>exercise in general, is not your thing? You clearly have more pressing interests and there are other ways to maintain good health.
This is profoundly bad advice. Being completely sedentary is absolutely awful when it comes to health. A single anecdote of a person who didn’t exercise but didn’t die young is meaningless. I’m not going to recommend people take up smoking because my grandpa smoked for 60 years and is still alive at 95.
Being completely sedentary was not my suggestion. My intention was to re-frame the asker's question from "how can I make this exercise tolerable" to "how can I maintain good health without engaging in this miserable activity".
I too once preached the exercise gospel to any that would listen. But I have mellowed out with age (while still riding my stationary bike).
