I can't seem to stay commited to the treadmill for more than a few weeks, I get SO bored. Can anyone tell me what they do while on the treadmill to keep occupied that is more creative than watching TV or reading? I tried those...I want to run, but I need something to do while doing it....any cool, neat, unique suggestions???

i always found it helpful if i did somethng while on a machine that made me think of something else, other than the exercising. sometimes i would just get lost in a daze. or see how many songs i can sing for memory. i used to rent a lot of movies that i hadn'tseen and then ran while i watched them. good luck! you can do it!

If you own an Ipod that would be the ideal...you can get music-podcasts that have training programs to music. But if you don't, a CD player would work too. And with music to help, exercise is easier to get through. Though it's getting colder, you can run outside if you want, I'm training to run a 5K right now, and I don't own a treadmill, so I always run outside.
I also find it helpful to daydream while I run. Just go to a familiar park or neighborhood and allow yourself to think or wander with thoughts. Sometimes, it feels like I ran 20 minutes when it was almost an hour. And that I have to say is bloody brillant. ;)
Good luck with running.

Instead of running inside, you should do it outside.
It never gets boring when you are outdoors.
Maybe you could alternate days or weeks with the treadmill and outdoors.

I use self hypnosis tapes while I'm on a treadmill. Be careful though, you have to get the knack of relaxing while you are jogging.

First ,if in case you have the face for it, get bangs or layers. Then pull your hair again right into a ponytail (in view that you've gotten quick hair) and placed a headscarf in or take a look at 2 braids or pigtails. Hope it is helping! :)
