I just want to add that I found it very difficult to stay on the treadmill for any amount of time due to boredom. I bought a treadmill for home ( Sole F80 - very nice machine) and put a TV w/ cable and a dvd player in front of it. What really keeps me going though is the Xbox 360 with multiplayer matches of Call of Duty and a boom box w/ custom mixed CDs. I can get so immersed in that game that I don't notice the 40 minutes to an hour of running.

I run in the woods, and it's the best possible time to let my mind wander, too. BTW I think it's probably bad in the long term to live in perpetual visual stimulation, so maybe you should consider the good sides of "boredom".

  It's worse to stop exercising.

  I like to go mountain biking but I live in Phoenix, AZ. It gets so hot here that it really isn't safe to exercise outdoors for several months out of the year. Maybe early in the morning but I'm never up that early.

    I went mountain biking year round in Phoenix when I lived there, and I'm terrible at getting up early. Fill up that Camelbak and you'll be fine. I also cycled 15 miles to work on my road bike, on what turned out to be the hottest of the prior several years (116, I rode in around 11am).

Is there nowhere good to run or cycle near you? You will get a lot more out of it if there is. I have been a big cyclist, but only started running in Sydney, since it is dangerous to listen to music and cycle in that city. But there are plenty of parks to run in and listen to music.

I huff and puff a lot from high rep weight lifting. It will give you cardio-type exercise and will be fairly quick.

Playing an FPS while running? Have you ever had a positive K/D ratio doing that?

  yes. I am not as good as on the pc because of the controller but once I am in the zone the running helps. You spend a lot of time running in game at about the same pace.
