The multiplication of shared electric vehicles (scooters, bikes, mopeds) in Paris means that I am getting further away form my goal of 10,000 steps a day.  I know that exercise is good for you but I find it difficult to practise it in Paris.  I have never liked running which would be the easiest one to do, I do enjoy cycling but in Paris you end up stopping at traffic lights most of the time.  I'm also a fan of swimming but their aren't that many pools in Paris and they are often overcrowded which I find unpleasant. I do enjoy tennis or squash but I'm lacking a regular partner (although my friend Guy is planning to spend more weekends in Paris).  What I need is a swimming pool in my basement or even better in my attic with an electric roof.   My ideal exercise is a swim in the morning before getting dressed and preferably in cold water.   While I work out how to get a pool in my building I have the 5 minute cold shower and 4 minute plank every morning... close enough I guess.
