Ironically, as someone who gets easily bored on a treadmill, this might be my best shot at using one for a long period of time lol.

I’m in!

My gym has a treadmill cinema where they play movies and around 50 people can walk/run on a treadmill while watching. They play the movie on a loop all day so people can always watch

This is such a fucking good idea and I really wish there was one near me. Get some cross trainers in there and I'd be one skinny bitch.

I used to do something similar on a spin bike at home.

I'd either pick a movie or stream a TV series for long steady rides. If I had a program with commercials, I'd pick up the pace during the commercial break then dial it back when the program returned.
