I'm not exactly sure what you are asking here BUT I enjoy my treadmill so will go on the assumption that you are looking for something that will keep your interest while you are on the treadmill.

First off, my treadmill is at home and placed in an area (corner) where I can see the TV and I can see it 'calling for me' every day. The fact that it's there where I can see it makes sure I can't "forget" it so it doesn't turn into a clothes hanger at some time either.

Secondly, not only can I watch TV while I'm on my treadmill, I also have an mp3 player velcro'd onto it with some of my favourite tunes downloaded into it (have figured out which ones work for the speed I walk at so can easily switch thru the songs that work the best at each of the speeds) PLUS I have a Kindle sitting on it for my last 10 minutes or so of cool down for a change. Those 3 things have been awesome with keeping me going on the treadmill because I don't find myself getting bored at all. It would totally suck to be staring at a wall with nothing to listen to or look at or whatever to keep the mind busy while the body is busy.

Thirdly, I track my exercise every day, and each day I make it a goal to beat my previous out-come ... be it, lasting one more minute or burn a few more calories or put it up a little faster or last a little longer at the faster speed, etc. These small little goals are a great incentive to keep me going as well.

I hope this was what you were looking for and it helps on some level. :flowerforyou:

I'm trying to get motivated myself. I did 30 min. at 2 mph last night and am going to do the same today......soon haha. I am also trying to get to the pool for a swim 3 or 4 times a week. Download some good music and go for a stroll.
