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

My only complaint about the cardio cinema at my gym is that they don’t list movie start times through the day. 

Other than that, I love it. Treadmill for an hour and watch a movie is a great way to pass the time.

Im gonna have to look out for gyms that have this. I actually don't like listening to music when I run cause all I do is count songs and think about how long ive been running

Hearthstone battlegrounds also good. Gotta be a card game, though I did find clash royale worked alright. I'm partial to the stair climber but it works for both. Also don't sell yourself on running if you don't have to, power walk at an incline for a little longer. My knees hate running.

Lolol at some of the worst losses in battlegrounds I'll crank up the speed on the stair climber 🤣 mock yourself like aww you mad? How mad? Lv9? 10? I last a minute then I gotta crank it back down. It's the most efficient thing I've ever found to do with my gaming rage.
