I got prostate cancer 2016. It was cured by radiation beems.Before I had my prostate removed, my PSA was 9.0! 🙂

I remember I had like 5 in PSA.
Compound exercises and isolation exercises. Deadlift, squat and shoulder press done with a barbell are compound exercises, they engage more muscles to support the torso and to hold posture and maintain balance. Generally, this could be said of any exercise you do standing up with free weights. Machine exercises tend to direct exercise to very specific muscle groups and are almost always isolation exercises and can be very useful too.I think you are making a point but maybe overstating it.
That was intended to be the sum total of my point. I wasn't trying to denigrate anyone's exercise routine, and my apologies if that's the way it came across. My preference (from experience and some reading) has been for compound exercises (stood up, dumbbell or barbell) rather than isolation exercises (machines or stuff you do sat down).
😛 I found that when I put my weight rack near the canning shelves, putting curtain rods and shovel handles from the top of one to the other - let me hang laundry and still use it for squats, bench, and pull downs. Well, actually my wife uses it more than I do lately. :-/ Need to get my arm looked at.
I have a Rogue Echo airbike. Bought it for the days when arthritis keeps me away from my daily 10k run. Not sure if that bike offers much protection against dying or it's just bringing the heart attack closerOr I may die soon. At least sooner 😀
A true bike is better to go to the cimetery... but you can go there by feet too and doing some exercices still. Illustration :
I like the life hygenia of these people that make both stretching and reenforcment exercices at the same time while walking. That is totally green too, they do not need to buy exercice bicycle... very clever :

Would reiterate as mentioned earlier the most important thing is to get away from sedentary lifestyle and get out, most of us have to forage the food outside our homes, so for instance skip the car down to the grocery store if not too far away and walk, walking is actually a great form of exercise requiring a good portion of motor cognition using our arms, legs, eyes, balance etc keeping also the brain fit, plus all the impressions taken up by our sensors from the outside world stimulating the brain even further.
The spring is soon here so make this coming summer season a great change and enjoy the outside world, go and swim in a real lake/sea, it's really refreshing, so instead of buying an expensive cloth hanger preferably put the money on a pair of comfortable quality hiking shoes, a binocular for watching birds, nature and pretty bipedals... come on!
ps. With regards to bipolar, strongly suggest to look up what type of diet is beneficial, and what's not, your general practitioner/doctor will most probably not discuss this as nowadays most of them are mere drug dealers.

I have no problem from my bipolar.
I take lithium as a cure morning and evening.
About going out.
I will go for a walk accompaned with a little gruop on Tuesday 10AM. More fun than walk alone.
This will be a weekly habbit.
About the exercise bike.
I am not sure I will buy. Have not made the final decision.

Glad lineup is responsible enough to take some prescription. My first wife developed bipolar disease and refused to see a doctor. I had to divorce her after she got pregnant by another. I had to move out of state to prevent zoning violation complaints, tow away of my car to the junkyard, utility cancellations, and other forms of payback for my sins. She called my employer 18 years after the divorce and tried to get me terminated with wild allegations. There are good drugs for bipolar disease now, I read.
Aerobic exercise is good for the heart+lungs+arteries. No benefit for the nerve synapses. I can't walk as suggested; the US Army destroyed my knees running in combat boots daily 2-6 miles. I was in Army reserve 18 years; stayed in training, in case of callback. 3 years active duty age 30-33. US Army changed to running in trainer shoes since I got out. If I don't bike enough, my knees lock up and I can't walk at all without extreme pain. If I do bike regularly, I can walk a couple of miles, which is not enough for cardio health.

Just don‘t let them put you on any of the meds that end in “-piprazole” or whatever the hell it is - they advertise that crap all the time. If you’re having trouble with keeping off weight now, you ain’t seen nothin yet. My sister is now 350 pounds and in a nursing home. Yeah, she likes to eat. But go on some of the psych meds if you’re prone to insulin resistance and you blow up like a balloon and full blown T2D will follow shortly. Once that happens, it will take more discipline than someone with mental problems will EVER have to reverse it. Try telling someone with a depression or schizophrenia issue to scrutinize every morsel of food and do zone 3 or higher cardio for 2+ hours a day— all while living in the Projects. Riiiiiiight…… they’re going to follow THAT advice. They’ll end up putting you on another pill.
nah, I had that model, it's a hass trampolin. It is not increasing mussles in the same area than exercise bikes.
I have no hills near me.
But there are small roads only for walkers. Not where the cars drive.
We are a small group of people that are walking together.
Same time every week.
