From: techman41973 on 22 Feb 2008 20:59 I spend about an hour each day on the treadmill. Most of the time I just walk (incline), sometimes I may run. Walking on a treadmill at the gym can be boring. My eyesight generally is fine. But I tried reading (magazines) while walking but it strains my eyes a bit and the its the general movement from walking makes it difficult to keep focussed on words. Is this something you get used to or is there some technique to make reading on a treadmill more practical.

While I endorse the other answers you've received, what you're really supposed to be doing is looking at the girls, not the words. Their vertical motion on the treadmills will match yours which then eliminates the blurriness.

I use these both on my exercise bike and when taking my boring therapeutic walks round the neighbourhood.

One gym I went to had the machines facing the pool, which can be a blessing or a curse ;) To suggest something else for walkers: my sister's favorite winter workout is mall-walking. -Tony, who catches up on DVRed movies and programs on the dreadmill |
