I even like to hook up a video game console and run while playing a game. It is a good investment to make if you find yourself looking at the timer on the treadmill constantly. I’ve personally notice when my attention is on something else I can go longer periods of time without noticing.

9. Reading rack - Want to read while jogging on your treadmill? Reading racks are your solution. They hook onto your treadmill and you can place your favorite book, magazine, or newspaper on it and read while you jog.
