Though you walk with different speeds and inclination but walking alone isn’t fun. You can’t read on a treadmill because you are bouncing up and down. The only fun thing to do on a treadmill is watching television or movies or listens to a good music. But you have to break the exercise and then choose, start and stop the music or video yourself.
