What do you guys do to keep yourselves motivated while on the treadmill?
Music? Reading? TV?

Hi Joy, here's what I've used so far...I put up a map on the wall and log the miles I walk in a week. I live in Rochester and I'm "walking" to Montreal. I've made it to Oswego which is 75 miles away. I've snagged my daughter's cd player and switch between radio and cds to break up the time, I cover the readout that shows time and miles with a notebook so I don't obsess with how much more I have to walk or that I've only been on for 5, 10 etc. minutes, I have another notebook that I use to make lists of things I need to do as I think of them while walking. If I had the money I'd put up a tv and watch that.

Honestly? I watch a Rocky movie......why that motivates me I will never know. I know I am pathetic lol!

I am glad the Biggest Loser is on TV now cause I watch that when I am trying to jog on the treadmill!

i always listen to the ipod. also, i don't let anyone come in the room! lol! our treadmill is in our bedroom, so i close the doors, put on the ipod and walk/run for 30 min or 2 miles. it helps me when no one comes in the room. if i stop, i am afraid i won't get back on.....so i always threaten the kids not to come in while i am on the treadmill!!! lol!
