I’ve got my treadmill set up in fron of the TV.

Not only that, I watch almost exclusively old movies that I’ve Tivo’d from AMC, TCM, or FMC. And the treadmill isn’t even powered…it’s manual.

Looks like I’m nothing but a Luddite. Except for the Tivo part.

Oh, yeah, and the blogging about it part.

I did a similar thing with my eliptical trainer. I made a homemade podium that holds the laptop at eye level. I don’t use it to surf – I suppose I could but I’m going faster than 1 or 2 mph – I listen to Napster.

Maybe these fitness companies should take note and give us a built in platform for laptops

Set the speed to a slow walk, and do your daily surfing while you stroll along. My treadmill computer tells me that at 1 mph I’m using about 200 calories per hour, and I never break a sweat. Plus it’s a lot healthier than sitting on my fat as* while reading your site.
Good work on the weight loss.
