I won't watch Netflix unless I am on the treadmill... so if I want to watch a tv series... must get on the treadmill. I don't always push it BUT I figure even a slow walk is better than the couch.

Commercial intervals.

When I walked/ran on the treadmill at the gym I did this, and I do this when I ride my bicycle on the trainer in my basement.

I pick a show on TV that I like, I walk or cycle at an easier pace during the show and then when the commercial comes on, I go all out to the end of the commercial.

30 or 60 minutes goes by in no time.

I wasn't very good at putting my idea into words so I drew a picture

NCIS has gotten me through a whole lot of treadmill workouts!

For the treadmill or elliptical during the winter it is Netflix or YouTube.

I like the"Zombies Run" app. It makes running part of a game. It can't hurt to try.

Join a train group and run outside. It keeps you acountible and all the new friends you make help to keep you on track. It's helped me and I'm currently training for my 2nd half marathon. Good luck with your running!
