Beating Boredom on the Treadmill

Your man’s got some guns on him! Very cute picture.

Cute photos :) lol
My favorite snack is a chopped apple in greek yogurt with chia seeds and cinnamon. I love wearing jackets year ’round, even when I lived in Texas. But I’m in Michigan now so I have a reason to wear jackets, yay! I find that the best way to beat boredom on the treadmill is to people watch. I once saw a lady do a ‘work out’ on the elliptical without ever pushing start haha

She really is about the cutest baby!
Fruit.
Not at all jacket weather.
I play with the speed. Do ladders up and down. But fortunately, I haven’t had to be on the treadmill since early August.

I like the idea of changing the pace every minute. I will have to try that. I don’t suppose you have any tips on how to beat boredom at work, besides by reading your blog:)

My favorite snacks are toast with peanut butter, mashed banana and honey drizzled over. Also I dig smearing nutella right onto a banana. Plus taking a tortilla and putting butter and cinnamon sugar on it and rolling it up.

Now I’m hungry.

That is such a presh pic of Billy and Brooke.

Cheese slices and wheat thins.

Nope. It’s perfect weather here in Houston. Usually ranging from the 70-90s with low humidity!

Watching TV. or I’ll make my friend walk on the one next to me and talk to me.

I definitely keep switching things up on the treadmill. I’m a fan of pyramids — both with speed and incline (or both together if I’m feeling especially spry that day!)
I was all about the Teddy Grahams until I found out that I needed to go gluten-free, still trying to find a great replacement!! But Food Should Taste Good chips (the chocolate kind) are awesome — need to go buy some more soon!

Nothing sweeter than a man with a baby. Awwr :D

Treadmills bore me to tears. I find the only way I can really stay on one for any period of time is if I have someone with me to talk to… otherwise I can only last about 5 minutes. And holy moly is it ever jacket weather here. It’s alright during the day, but the mornings and evenings are freezing! I don’t mind, though, because jackets, boots, scarves, and chunky sweaters are my favorite kind of clothes :D

my favourite snack right now is banana soft serve with chocolate protein powder and a little peanut butter, I can’t get enough! it always leaves me super cold so I have to chase it with a big mug of tea but its definitely worth it
Its not jacket weather quite yet… well maybe early early and late late but during the day its still nice and warm (in Vancouver, BC)
when i’m on the treadmill and super board I always throw in some random intervals to take my mind off of the clock, I hate it but it works every time.

Agreed, double butter is the bomb. My fave snack at present is popcorn!! Nomnom

Southern California so no jackets required here!!

Does your treadmill bother your apartment neighbors? Just wondering if it’s less/more noisy since it’s out on the porch.

I cannot run on the treadmill for the life of me! We got the phil and teds stroller and I have been using it with Brooklyn (my 3 month old!) since she was born…it lies flat until they have head control! I love it! I am up to 9 miles now running and feel back to myself…funny how running defines how we feel!!

-Since it’s getting to be apple season in these parts, my consumption of apples and peanut butter is increasing. The Honeycrisp apples and Honey roasted peanut butter from this one orchard are TO DIE FOR. But then again, I’m kind of loving my Trader Joe’s Vanilla nonfat greek yogurt with granola too.
-Definitely jacket weather in the morning and evenings around here. We are having a fabulous Indian Summer so the days have been nice and warm, and the nights crisp and cool.
-I’m a total fair-weather runner, so once the weather turns bad I’ll be stuck on the treadmill (which is probably why I don’t run much over the winter). So either I’m going to have to invest in some cold weather gear, or figure out a way to suffer the treadmill for more than 20 minutes.

I LOVE my treadmill. I run on it everyday. In fact, I hate running outside. I did 15 miles on it a couple of weekends ago. How do I beat the boredom? I watch tv shows that I don’t have time to watch otherwise b/c I’m either chasing my two kids around or cleaning up their messes once they are in bed. Totally motivates me to get out of bed.
Totally impressed about your 8 miles, seriously awesome!

i do the same thing with the tready…it’s all about messing with the dials to break the chunks of time down to the shortest amounts so u really only ‘think’ u’re running for 5 min’s. lol. i also play the game where i try not to look at the screen for as long as i can, so then when i do look it’s like, “WOW!! a whole two miles passed!” then i try to not look again and beat how long i lasted without peeking earlier. sooo inventive these little mind games, right?! jk.

I have to alternate the speed or incline too otherwise I’d lose my mind on the treadmill! Love that pic of B squared :)

oh my goodness! No, it doesn’t get any cuter than that!

Yum! Sometimes I do something similar but with the Trader Joe’s low-carb tortillas and wrap the pb and banana in it!

all the time i used to read smaller content which also clear their motive,
and that is also happening with this article which I am reading
now.

When we think of treadmill running, most of us instinctively look down on it as a second-class form of running. But there are times weather, travel or other circumstances will have even the strongest opponent to the treadmill line up and start pushing the buttons for a workout.

Good read! I must talk about the way you’ve organized your ideas and thoughts on the Fitness. I think you can help us even more by adding some more relevant insights into the topic. However, the post still gives us a head start to the next update to our website Fittingguy Thank you
