How do you guys do it? I don't want to look at ugly gym people. I don't want to be caught staring creepily at yogapants sluts. I'm bored with looking at my phone and the scenery at the gym doesn't change much. I can't exactly watch the pounds melt away, so what the hell am I suppose to do to maintain my own sanity while I plod aimlessly and motionlessly forward through the gray, drab nothingness of the local health club?

I listen to mindfulness and Buddhist audiobooks. I stare at a spot on the ground in front of me while doing so.

If you've an ipod and Netflix, just download your favorite shows and watch it while you plod away.

Stair machine bitch! I climb the equivalent of the Sears Tower (2232) three times a week. Usually just go to 2500 on the cooldown. Best time is just under 23:30. Also put some hate in your heart and concentrate on it while listening to metal. Works for me.

Why don’t you jog to the gym and then drink some sports drinks and hit the heavy bag, do the pool, maybe play some raquetball with a girl with huge tits, take a jazzercise class, relax in the steam room with some fresh eucalyptus. All treadmills should be mounted on segways imo, and you walk on the treadmill to charge the Segway and this is how we all move about at the gym.

Run outside. I don't get how people can run on a treadmill either.

DonJNavarro posted:i do math in my head to calculate how much time i have left to run, what percentage done i am, what time i will pass certain mile markers. any kind of mental math to not think about running I'm constantly doing this. There's a timer on the treadmill that switches from time elapsed to time remaining and back again, as well as a calorie meter and various other gauges, so there's a monologue in my head that's like "ok I've been on here for 15 minutes so that's not 15% it's 25% of the hour, leaving me with 75% of an hour to go which is actually 45 minutes not 75 minutes, the calorie meter says I've burned 100 calories so far so that'll be 400 calories by the time I'm finished" And that's what I'm trying to get away from. The repetitive math exercises feel like they're harmful after a while. Chinatown posted:Stair machine bitch! I climb the equivalent of the Sears Tower (2232) three times a week.

This is a golden age for maintaining treadmill sanity. Podcasts, Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, audiobooks, etc. You have like 80 billion options for treadmill entertainment.

Focusing on the treadmill and your time on it only makes being on the treadmill seem longer. Do something to take your mind off of it.

running on a treadmill is bitch running, like using machines for compound lifts. You'll never work your stabilizers and so will always be crap, person wise Run outside or save it.

If you are a fat goon, just improve your diet to lose weight and then start running when you are at BMI 25 or less.

Don't call people sluts because of how they dress Unless they're wearing a t-shirt that said "Please address me as a slut, no it's cool I made this shirt on purpose, this isn't a marketing slogan, call me a slut it is what I want to be called of my own free will and choice". That's be ok then I guess, but that's about the only exception I could think of.

I get completely and utterly lost in a dreamlike state. The first 10 minutes are kind of rough, but as they go I slip in and out of it until around minute 15 I kind of just go somewhere else - I'm vaguely aware I'm in a gym, but I'm also fully dreaming and my mind is wandering with no guidance. I see the dream more than I see the gym. It took me loving ages to get used to it because when you briefly slip out of it you kind of second guess your ability to run and how you managed to keep doing it - which can totally ruin it, but you got to trust that your subconscious knows what it's up to and let go. If I can't get in there within 15 minutes I call it quits on cardio and do something else but it's been a while since that happened. cubicle gangster fucked around with this message at 05:45 on Jul 20, 2018 |

I used to just pick a c.d. and listen to that, never liked treadmills though. Elliptical machines make reading alot easier.

I run 5 minutes on the treadmill to warm up then lift weights, and do another 5 minutes when I’m done. Treadmills are loving boring, any more than that makes me want to die. I do my cardio by running in the park, which is far, far more rewarding

I listen to podcasts and/or radio shows on my MP3 player or phone. That is, until I go to a gym that blasts their lovely music super loud and I can't hear my own stuff. I hate that. Here's comes Bruno Mars for the 10th time, hell yeah!

Go for an actual walk instead. Walk to the gym if it's only a couple miles away and take a bus back.
