I struggle with the same issue. I ride for fitness and when I get depressed i go into the death sprial where I don't do exercise, lose strength, feel like shit, the finally pull out of the spiral, do a workout and kick myself for not doing it sooner because it made me feel better.
I think the easy thing to do is just say "I'll do 10 minutes or something short and when I want to stop I'll stop"
I have a habit of going to long walks. It's something I started doing in college when my depression gave me insomnia. I just would get up in the middle of the night and just do laps around the campus. Now it's just something I do. I'll just go and walk until my legs are tired.
biking is great. in my city they have been spending millions and years on creating biking trails along the bayous and connecting them all so you could theoretically bike across the city.

I’ve actually been biking riding as my exercise but some days it’s impossible to get the motivation to go on a ride
I appreciate the support. Thank you!

Riding bikes rules.

running is good too. both are very liberating
Hate running more than literally everything, but it's done wonders for my recovery from my cycling accident where I shattered my knee.
