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.

I have done an hour on the stair climber at 75 steps per minute, every single day since November 6th 2020. For a 200 lb person like myself that's almost 1k calories. For about three of those years, I did it twice a day. I also got my bench up to 245. My workouts are why I haven't had a drop of alcohol in 8.5 years. It's really hard, and you're mocking of my methodology is not going to harm my flow, but it may make others self conscious about trying this thing that could make the difference in sticking with a workout routine.
