Doubling Up On Exercise, Couch Potato Style


As regular readers know, I bought a treadmill just after Christmas, and have promised myself that I will run at least 3 times per week. I have been doing so. There has been the odd time that I've only run twice on the treadmill, but on such weeks I've been getting the extra run in when I receive the order at work, running up and downstairs with heavy boxes about 30 times, twice a week.
Tonight I found that I doubled my time on the treadmill, and enjoyed it more than ever as well.
The trick? I put a TV up in front of it, and now I can watch the Food Network or a documentary while I'm running. Absolutely fantastic, and not nearly such a chore anymore.
