I have a new attack on boredom. I got the series of Alfred Hitchcock movies from Costco. Many movies. Lower the resistance and no trouble keeping up the speed with Hitchcock. I wear a heart rate monitor and get my rate up into zone 4 before timing my workout. I leave myself hanging in the movie so I'll want to do it again the next day. According to Jay's article, you need to do at least 40 minutes without stopping except for pauses of a few seconds. Sorry about that.
