Where to place that treadmill?

I recently moved my treadmill from one room to another and had quite an epiphany -- where you place your exercise equipment has a direct impact on how (often) you use it.

Consider this: for years, the treadmill was tucked away in a dedicated exercise room where I live. This got it out of the way, but also it made me less likely to use it daily. The rule "out of sight, out of mind" really came into play here.

After moving the treadmill right into the main bedroom, it was amazing to find that I actually started using it much more. Why? Well, because I saw it all the time and that constant reinforcement really jogged me into more frequent use. This was a very good thing to have happened. So, the moral of the story is: "where is your treadmill?"
