    If that works for you, and you need the 30 minutes, keep doing it!

    I read MFP on my stationary bike and you’re right, it does make the time go faster. Bonus: I learn more tips.

    Or, as a PoGo player, I crack a thirty minute Lucky Egg, and evolve, lol.

    There’s an older woman at my gym who casually reads a full sized old fashioned newspaper on the elliptical. I marvel every time I see her. I’d fall off.

    Sorry but I don't know what an elliptical trainer is. However, I do have a stationery bike. I either watch a film, youtube or listen to an audio book whilst on mine. These are all things that distract us whilst working out. I know my aunt also watches the TV in the evening whilst she is grinding away on her rowing machine. 🏋‍♂️

    I do my elliptical for at least 150 minutes (and I have done up to 5-5.5 hours on my old one that I wore out. Did 26.2 miles 2 or 3 times, just to see if I could do it). I watch older TV show series I never watched before. Passes my time.
