Honest question here - how are you guys able to use a treadmill or stationary bike for an hour?? Gets sooo boring after 5 minutes of no scenery moving? (well, landscape, the gym has other good scenery).
I do 30 minutes on the treadmill. I wear headphones and listen to music on the iPhone. I enter my weight on the treadmill, and it calculates calories. I keep my eye on the calories burned and distance run.

There is also a row of televisions hanging down from the ceiling with the captions on, and sometimes I look at what's on CNN, ESPN, etc.

I still hate doing cardio, but the combination of listening to music, keeping track of distance and calories, and watching tv helps time go by.
