    Yeah, that’s tough. I wouldn’t presume to give you advice on working out, but from personal experience, I would at least advise finding something you like before you blow a lot of money on it. I wasted a lot of money on group cycling before I realized I hated that.

      Thanks. I’ve tried enough things to have a pretty good idea of what I will and won’t like. I love biking - I used to be in a mountain bike racing league - so I know that one will be a win once the weather gets better. The hard part now is getting past the executive dysfunction and actually signing up for some things.

        Yeah, the cruel joke of ADHD is that you need executive functioning to do the stuff that makes it better, like remembering to take a pill at the same time every day or managing your time time well enough to go to the gym. I was only able to start exercising when I got a job with a gym in the building, and I still forgot my gym clothes a bunch or times in the first month.
