Burpees are great but I can’t just mindlessly do them for an hour just to burn calories like I can with a machine. I want something I can watch a video while I’m doing it and be able to zone out.
Yeah this is what I do currently (with a few other exercises mixed in as well) but it’s not as effective as I would like. My attention span shorts out and I find myself wandering off or fucking around with shit in my bedroom. For whatever reason I didn’t have the same problem when I had a exercise bike to use. I suspect it’s because the exercises take just enough coordination that I can’t switch off but not enough to not be tedious where the bike was basically “sit on this and kick your legs”.

Just do squats and lunges in front of the tv, go as easy as you need to to focus on the tv
