What I’ve found interesting/frustrating is that our society has found lots of ways to prevent us from having to exercise naturally, which we pay money for, and then comes up with ways to force us to exercise artificially, which we often also pay money for.
This is one of those cases where if you optimise for two things separately you can be more efficient than you would by optimising for them jointly. People purchase convenience and exercise separately because it saves time. You can get better fitness results, faster, by concentrating on exercise for short periods of time.
I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with your strategy. Just that you shouldn’t find the default solution of driving to work and then driving to the gym frustrating. It does make sense.

In my case, I just hate exercise for the sake of exercising. I do get why the normal strategy works for most people, but it feels too boring to me.
