I normally dont like treadmills. They have bored me to death in the past in about 5 minutes.
As I'm travelling for work this week, and the hotel has a treadmill - I decided to give it a shot again. My thinking was that if I went at a pretty easy pace - around 150 bpm or so - and had the TV on, maybe it would work out.
It seems like it helped. Any time in the past I've used a treadmill, I had the incline relatively steep, or I had the speed way up. This ended up making things uncomfortable - and without passing scenary to distract me, it was counter productive. However, staying at a rate of 150 bpm, it was much easier to just keep going. I still think that treadmills are horribly calibrated for distance measuring, and are significantly less of a workout than running outside, but they are something. Whatever gets the heartrate up.
