Contrary to what we would all like to think, most of us don’t look forward to spending time on workout equipment for one reason or another. Whether you’re at the gym or in your living room, chances are you have access to a TV. Battle boredom and resist the urge to cut your sweat session short by watching these recommended shows. They’re the ones that inspire us, entertain us, or at the very least distract us from the task at hand.
Pawn Stars
“You just never know what’s gonna come through that door”
Family Guy

Game Shows (insert favorite game show here)

Let’s be honest, almost everyone has a DVR with so much content backed up on it and you don’t seem to find time to watch! Clear that DVR during your workout… you’ll be logging more time on your equipment than you can imagine!

Feedback:Top Gear is the Best!!! I've watched every episode while on the treadmill. Not too bad when you consider there are 20 seasons on NetFlix. Any show thats high energy and sucks you in so you have to finish watching is a great way get in a 45 min workout. ~ Eric
