Exercising at the gym is quite different from commuting. People can take the "rest day" quite litterally and not move for one day :)
To be healthy we should walk at least 8 km a day every day, so your daily commute in the fresh air is very healthy. You could also try to walk (fast) part of your commute on the days you don't want to cycle. Just reassess yourself every few weeks. Make sure you walk a few minutes after each meal, go for a walk at lunchtime for 30mn if you can, take the stairs. All of that will make a big difference. Daily is the key!
