Strategy for Getting Rid of Boredom While Exercising
Like many people, at times I find exercising boring. Over the years there were times I’ll exercise frequently, allowing me to get in shape only to then fall off because of the monotony and boredom. In doing cardio, I often try to read a magazine and listen to music while on the treadmill, stationary bicycle or elliptical.
My wife over a year ago purchased an elliptical trainer and recently I started using it to get back in shape. However, the first few times I used it, after a few minutes I was bored. I tried listening to music and reading magazines to no avail. I hate watching the clock while I exercise because a half hour will seem like an hour.

I then read an article about an Internet Marketer who attached her laptop to her treadmill and worked / surfaced the Web while exercising. I thought that was a great idea. She claimed she lost considerable weight doing this. She slowly walks while working and the weight slowly dropped off over several months.
I attached my laptop to the elliptical with a belt and decided to give it a try. Now a half hour seems like 10 minutes when I’m on the elliptical while using my laptop and the Internet. Sometimes I watch videos/movies, listen to music, check e-mail, send e-mails and work on projects. Doing this totally distracts me from the time on the elliptical and the time really flies by. I try to do at least 30 minutes, but I usually do 45 minutes to 1 hour because the time goes by so quickly.
