Change of Mind, I'm buying television instead.

Hiya LK, Very good idea to keep you motivated for whatever you are doing. If you are too tired you can just watch TV. I don´t have a lot of time to be outside either to do exercise apart from walking a lot so I think a good Dvd or watching other People workout on programs is a great motivator too. Here there is a great workout spot on a program but its very annoying and frustrating to watch as they always say coming up now and learn how to do this and fifty odd minutes later they are still saying the same thing its just to keep you watching and I don´t have that kind of time really. Also she is not on everyday either this is a kind of game that they play because we don´t have paid for channels I suppose all the adverts and stuff take priority. However you could buy two or three Dvds about the same kind of exercise and alternate with them too so that you don´t get bored doing the same thing. xxx

Well TV's good but have considered buying any of those LCD TV instead? that way, you can plug it still on your CPU if want to go online or use an antenna if you want to watch TV. It's like hitting two birds with one stone.

That's cool I just bought a 40 inch that I can hook my computer tower right into. So now it will be a tv and a computer monitor. it is easer to watch tv and exercise makes time go by faster

You can watch almost any TV channel on PC this days without the need to have a tv card installed. You can play almost any dvd - movie, music - to pc also. And you can use as a pc the pc ... So, if you buy a TV set, you'll still in need for a computer. If you buy a PC, you wont need for a TV set. And if is a portable (notebook, laptop) computer, you'll have a portable dvd player too - as in attached picture

letran, that's true, if you concentrate something else while going on treadmill, its certain, you wont feel tired. Everyday, I am doing 1 hour treadmill, what I will do is I will think something else, may be about the career or friends or what happened on previous day, really it helps to run more time, I think that's a better idea to buy a TV and watching while you do exercise..

I think you've just made a right choice. I'm happy for you and go for that new tv instead. Would love to hear a new discussion soon that you've actually lost weight.

dear LK, Not a bad idea. At least you will enjoy and do your daily exercise while watching. I am sure you will soon achieve the hunk body that you've been waiting for

For me it is your choice we are free to do what was good in your mind.

why dont you try running outside lk? i doubt that the tv will help you lose weight. It might even be a cause for you to gain more anyways, i'd buy a tv if I had extra cash. so even if it's not for the exercising purpose a tv is still a good buy

I don't know but I think a television will work compared to listening to music. I tried that once I felt that my attention span is slipping away than I desired. Your discussion reminded me of an article I once read where people power their television by biking. Basically, a person who would want to watch television has to pedal first if one wants to watch the TV. It was quite a good idea and kills two birds with one stone - entertainment and exercise.

Dear Friend What we normally told while doing exercise is to concentrate on the steps involved therein. Listening to some good music ,preferably on low volume of instrumental music is recommended. So, a good music player is of great assistance to you. With Regards samaritan123

yeah.. get a new tv..its good too.. will let u focus on the news while doing the threadmill..btw what model u intend to buy..? if u have low budget..LG,PANASONIC,TOSGIBA..delivers quality even at low prices.. if money is no object..get a SONY.. i saw at walmart online..plenty cheap tvs too..

Why don't you buy both. That's possible thru installment basis.

tough decision but if i were you i would go ahead and get the new computer because you can always watch television and movies from your computer plus when you are not exercising on the tread mill you will have it for games, work, or anything else you can do on the computer its like you would be getting the best of both worlds where as if you get the television you are limited to just watching the television and movies the only downside to getting the computer is that the screen is so small it may be hard for you to see what is playing on the screen while you are exercising

I think that would be great if that is what you really want right now. You can buy a new computer later.

I think new LCD Television for sale now are not only an LCD Television but serves as an LCD Monitor for Computer CPU too.... i think the price is 16,000 pesos....
