[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 460297, member: 55568"] Even the thought of a treadmill makes me feel down in the dumps. There is a correlation between fitness, exercise and mood and many people do report that they feel more perky when they have got fit. Humans tend to react best when they see a benefit as a reward to their effort. Athletes would see this in terms of better times, increased weights lifted, more repetitions etc. To put in effort without seeing reward might be a bit soul destroying. In addition to entertainment type distractions, you might also like to set yourself some fitness targets. I use a cycle trainer and primarily watch live video of the route. Getting to the top of a hill is rewarded by a freewheel down on the otherside where I can enjoy the scenery. But there are also analytic programmes which measure time, heart rate, calories burned etc etc and make comparisons with earlier saved sessions. These can help stimulate the will to endure the effort. [/QUOTE]
