I watched all of the new Doctor Who on the exercise bike over the past year. I used to DVR a few sitcoms and watch them while exercising, but there aren’t any that I care about enough to watch.
On weekends, I’ll watch a football game.
Other than that…I don’t know. I got myself a Chromecast, and keep putting off signing up for Netflix…but I’ll have to do that eventually so I can keep going.
Go here and choose from thousands of old Bollywood movies. Most are not subtitled, no point following the plot, just enjoy the medium, listen to Lata Mangeshkar singing in nearly all of them and wastch the dance routines
I would say something like Jeopardy. It would keep your brain busy and distracted instead of thinking how boring it is to exercise on a treadmill.
There’s a show I like called Brain Games on the National Geographic channel that shows the many intricacies of the brain. They include some fun brain teasers, contests between sexes on whose brain works better, cool optical illusions and it’s a nice mental distraction.
Other options: The Daily Show, a sit-com from beginning-to-end (thinking maybe **Cheers ** or The Simpsons), possibly a drama beginning-to-end (Sopranos, Game of Thrones, neither of which I’ve ever seen).
mmm
Here’s another vote for Jeopardy and/or Wheel of Fortune.
Basically for the same reasons too, it will give your brain something active to do while you’re moving.
Sports are good if you’re a deep enough fan to do more than just watch, but figure it out as well. “Oh man look at the guard pull on that strong-side toss!” “He really got him on that low-slider” that kind of thing
