After a couple of years struggling to find time to do some exercise, 5 months ago I decided to try, at least, walking 10000 steps daily. I am running/walking every morning since may and very happy to feel fitter again. Keep on cycling!
That's really what it takes. Just get moving. A little or much, it doesn't matter, as long as it becomes a habit.
It started with 10,000 steps last year for me after a few years of inactivity.
Got a small saving's account which was giving me 11% interest if I was doing 10,000 steps every day for 200 days. It worked (except at the end, where I caved and sometimes shaked my phone to not have to go for a midnight beer run to get my steps in~~).

It's nice, but not as great as it sounds. 11% on a lump sum is nice, however 11% with daily savings of a small capped amount, ends up being ~5% on the final amount saved after 200 days. Still nice, but it's mostly good marketing.
Are you on Workit? They posted about their step counter app a while ago. I'm starting my first fitness challenge with them, which has a 300 kilosat prize.

Yep! It has started today. Just completed the task. The pool is 740 kilosat plus 300k that will be awarded to 5 lucky winners.

Nice! I need to get off my lazy butt, so I don't lose on day 1.

Too bad it's not on Android yet. I remembered their post. Looks nice

Not sure how often the challenge points updates because it is showing me at 8 points but I am at 14 for today. Probably a lot of people only open the app once when they are done collecting steps for the day. They aren't mildly OCD like me and can't help but check how many points I have.
