Netflix and Gym

This week I discovered a new favorite hobby. I've always known that I enjoy watching something while I workout to keep my mind off the exercise and pass the time. This is part of the reason why I have kept my Gold's Gym membership. I highly enjoy the Cardio Cinema. I got to watch the whole last hour of Taken 3, which I would never have watched otherwise and got a nice workout in before work one day. And now the gym wifi works on my kindle so I can watch Netflix!

I got a new Fitbit on the New Year and this week I started a challenge with my friends. It definitely got my butt in gear trying to meet and surpass my walking goals. I brought my kindle to the gym because I'm re-reading Wild, but I chanced the wifi just to see if it would connect and load Netflix because I had been binging New Girl and only had two episodes left. It worked! I walked through the two episodes which is a 44 min walk. Most of the time I have to reason with myself just to get a 30 min walk in. The next day I decided to start a new series that I would only watch in the gym. I chose Making a Murderer because EVERYONE is talking about it. This episodes range from 44-66 mins so for the next 9 or so gym trips I'll be getting a splendid walk in. I'm very excited. Here are some other things I'm thinking about watching in gym only. Are there any shows you think I should add?

Parks and Recreation
Daredevil
Lost (although I think I would watch this at home too)
House of Cards
Scandal
Criminal Minds
