I hear you on the part about movement and I totally agree. But I am now to the point where I am stiff even when I get up from the recumbent bike to move to another part of the gym. So irritating. I am 78 and move like I am 178. That is why I have to find something I can take for this because Tylenol isn't doing it.

Can you book a session with a trainer to get some help on warmups and stretches to do before exercising? Or do you just go the the gym and start peddling without warming all your muscles up first? (In the winter, I used to step into the sauna at the gym and loosen up there - the heat helped my muscles relax.)
Also, does your gym have a pool you can use? I find pool exercises a lot easier on my joints.
