Trying the viral treadmill exercise 🤍🫶
Life hack: put on reality TV while you work out so your brain is locked into the drama instead of counting minutes on the treadmill. 👀
I’m thinking less about the workout, paying way more attention to what’s happening on screen. Thank you @peacock and @bravotv for your service.
On today’s training to do list, we have a 5 mile easy run, but since the trails are still muddy from the snowstorm, no trail run today. 🥲
Instead, I learned of a great replacement (thank you to ChatGPT).
Do this workout instead:
• Speed: 3.5 mph
• Time: 45–55 minutes
• Weighted vest: full 10 lb
If the vest gets too heavy, take it off for the last 10 to 15 minutes.
Everything I use is linked in my bio on my LTK.

I recently tried incorporating reality TV shows into my treadmill sessions, and it truly changed my workout experience. Instead of watching the clock or feeling tired after a few minutes, following a gripping reality show kept my focus away from the monotony of running indoors. This distraction technique helps improve endurance by making the time fly by without the usual boredom. Another key element I added was the use of a 10 lb weighted vest. Initially, it felt a bit challenging, but after 30-40 minutes, I noticed a significant boost in my calorie burn and muscle engagement, especially in my core and legs. If the vest feels too heavy, it's smart to remove it for the last 10 to 15 minutes to avoid strain. Since winter often limits outdoor trail runs due to mud or snow, a treadmill workout like this becomes a practical alternative. Setting the speed to a steady 3.5 mph simulates a light jog, ideal for maintaining aerobic fitness without overexertion. For motivation, I link my favorite gear and weighted vests on platforms like LTK, which has helped me stay committed. This combination of entertainment and weighted training has helped me prep for half marathons and even get wedding-ready with consistent indoor workouts. If you’re struggling to keep treadmill workouts interesting, consider this approach. Plus, housing your treadmill near a TV streaming reality shows like those on Peacock or Bravo is a simple life hack to keep your brain busy and your legs moving!
