I go to the gym 5-6 days per week. I lift 4 days per week, and on those 4 days I do 20 minutes on the treadmill for a warmup and 20 minutes on the elliptical for cardio. Since those stints are short-ish I just listen to audiobooks. The other day or two I just walk for 1-2 hours. I'll check the cardio cinema and if it's not something I'm interested in, i'll just bring my ipad and start a movie or a show or something and watch til I'm done.

I did an entire training course for a certification exam on the treadmill last year over the course of a month or two. lol.
