30 minutes of Virtual Scenery - Treadmill / Exercise Machine (Cotswolds UK)

  • Treadmill? Exercise bike? Cross trainer? Rowing machine? Flying carpet? Beat the boredom with a virtual tour around the picturesque Hobbit Shires of Gloucester while you work out for a full 30 minutes. The music is not to everyone's tastes (classical) so mute and use your own accordingly, or treat yourself to a taste of culture :o)
    SPEED NOTES: I've had some feedback comments regarding the speed of the video not being "realistic" and not accurately representing running or walking. Before publishing, I experimented creating the video at various jogging or cycling speeds, but found with the slower speeds, the visuals got very tedious very quickly.
    In the end I settled for slower speeds around the more interesting parts and faster speeds during the less interesting bits, so hopefully providing sufficient change of scenery to keep the visuals interesting. The faster speeds also allow you to see much more of the area than you would do at slow speeds. :o)

    I hate the treadmill. I repeat. I hate the treadmill. Just used this to run in the gym and even used your car speedups as intervals to increase my own speed. Also uses the music to run faster. Thank you for this. You are a great human being.

    When that Van came round the corner on the wrong side of the road, I jumped out of the way and hit the guy on the elliptical trainer. He's pissed.

    This is great! I want u to know that what u have done benefits me who lives 12,000 km away. The memory of the places I visited 2 years ago came back to me in a very nice way. I kept using it with my treadmill. Thanks a billion!

    I don't know why people go to the trouble of creating videos like this - but I am sure happy and grateful they do. I workout on a cross trainer seven days a week and watch this video every other day. I like counting the 9 phone booths. When I reach the bridge in Arlington with the music, bells, and drums I feel like I have really done something. Thank you! Thank you!

      @ceciliatrevino3242 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I did it for the first time today too except I had not done any exercise since the Birth of Christ so, I had to take a break every 5 minutes for the first 15 minutes of it and, then I did a full ten minutes, took another break and completed the remaining 5 minutes. I had to roll my upper thighs with a rolling pin for the first 5 minute intervals because I kept getting cramps but that subsided eventually.

  • @lisasummers6746
    @lisasummers6746 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    my first scenic workout, loved it! I thought the speedups were workout intervals, and I loved there was a natural scenic warning that there would be a shift to speed up or slow down. never quite got used to vehicles popping up on the left (from USA) but that added a bit of spice to the workout, as did the finale music--great timing! Thanks!

  • @genspi5177

    I bought a walking treadmill and was looking for something motivational to use with my wireless headset and this video was great. Love the classical music choices. I'm actually able to control my pulse against higher speed settings. Especially the funny 1000 points roadkill insert. That had me laughing!
