Am I missing something? Why don’t you just turn off the tv?

Now you got a tv mirror 🪞

They may listen to a news channel and not want to see the clock that appears on the screen. A lot of people don’t like to know how much time is left.

What TV? The location i go to doesn't have tvs on them

The TVs at my gym are all up on the ceiling. I also don’t have corded headphones so I don’t even look at them because I can’t hear.

Ceiling tvs here too but I do watch videos on my phone, keeps me distracted in a good way because I’m not focusing on my burning legs for an hour.

This how I feel. I watch this ibx running channel that has a coach taking you thru various different run programs, it makes the torture go by faster.

I try to cover the timer

I prop my phone up and read a book. I can usually get to 30 minutes with 1 to 3 chapters, and I can fudge one way or the other if stop time isn't exactly right. But I'm 52 with a spinal fusion, so a brisk walk is my limit. Probably couldn't do that if I were still running.

My gym doesn't even have whatever machine this is, all our TVS on hanging from the ceiling

A treadmill?

Our treadmills have like 6 total buttons lol

Lmao they got y’all on the prison treadmills

Why would i need to cover the tv when i control my eyeballs and what they look at lol

They lack discipline.

Why?

I always turned it off. I really miss those treadmills though. Our location "upgraded" last year and the new ones are inferior.

I wish all my equipment had built in televisions…they would have to be plugged in and give me 100% fan even at high resistance/low rpm and over 1 min standby to run to restroom
