30 minutes of Virtual Scenery - Treadmill / Exercise Machine (Cotswolds UK)

Treadmill? Exercise bike? Cross trainer? Rowing machine? Flying carpet? Beat the boredom with a virtual tour around the picturesque Hobbit Shires of Gloucester while you work out for a full 30 minutes. The music is not to everyone's tastes (classical) so mute and use your own accordingly, or treat yourself to a taste of culture :o)
SPEED NOTES: I've had some feedback comments regarding the speed of the video not being "realistic" and not accurately representing running or walking. Before publishing, I experimented creating the video at various jogging or cycling speeds, but found with the slower speeds, the visuals got very tedious very quickly.
In the end I settled for slower speeds around the more interesting parts and faster speeds during the less interesting bits, so hopefully providing sufficient change of scenery to keep the visuals interesting. The faster speeds also allow you to see much more of the area than you would do at slow speeds. :o)

[@RyanHare]

Have to say! Best flying carpet session I have had in ages!

[@Sandra-lb5pu]

Haha love it!!

[@lavip.9838]

That was funny! 😂 and let's not forget the music... Majestic! It suits I would say!

[@as1624a]

I hate the treadmill. I repeat. I hate the treadmill. Just used this to run in the gym and even used your car speedups as intervals to increase my own speed. Also uses the music to run faster. Thank you for this. You are a great human being.

[@rickvanman]

Glad you found it useful Amaya :o)

[@mithooocund]

Amaya Smith will

[@charlottegregg7854]

Love treading to this video cotswolds good pace, good music, pleasant, peppy

[@kennethczajkowski8793]

Watch out for that wall, watch out for that house, watch out for that door, watch out for that lorry, watch out for that sheep. WOW what a exciting 30 minutes. Loved it!

[@jimindc]

I don't know why people go to the trouble of creating videos like this - but I am sure happy and grateful they do. I workout on a cross trainer seven days a week and watch this video every other day. I like counting the 9 phone booths. When I reach the bridge in Arlington with the music, bells, and drums I feel like I have really done something. Thank you! Thank you!

[@davenix604]

This countryside is breathtaking, so peaceful and serene,I feel relaxed by watching it.

[@robertocantu1875]

Splendid scenery. Well chosen music. Made my 30 minute workout a joy. Thank you so very much!

[@PaulaHenderson_LV]

Thank you. I'm watching this while having my morning coffee but will definitely watch while on my treadmill later today. Thank you. It's wonderful

[@mimsicle1]

I did this for the first time today and loved it. 30 minutes flew by. Thanks so much. I always wanted to visit England.

[@ceciliatrevino3242]

I did it for the first time today too except I had not done any exercise since the Birth of Christ so, I had to take a break every 5 minutes for the first 15 minutes of it and, then I did a full ten minutes, took another break and completed the remaining 5 minutes. I had to roll my upper thighs with a rolling pin for the first 5 minute intervals because I kept getting cramps but that subsided eventually.

[@aromaofhope]

Yes, it does help the workout pass quickly.

[@kianavelez561]

I bought a spin bike and did the 30 min to your video....LOVED IT! Music is brilliant! Such a fantastic way to wind down after work. Thank you for sharing.

[@johnsummerall6167]

The only thing that keeps me motivated. Hope to get to visit some of these beautiful villages one day!!!!! Somehow I feel like I belong there. Love it!!!!!

[@oxide177]

This is great! I want u to know that what u have done benefits me who lives 12,000 km away. The memory of the places I visited 2 years ago came back to me in a very nice way. I kept using it with my treadmill. Thanks a billion!

[@rastagirl007]

Thanks for such a wonderful video to ride my spin bike to! Love the music and the scenery and the fact that you are motivated and kind enough to share! Great fun~

[@captmoonbeam]

When that Van came round the corner on the wrong side of the road, I jumped out of the way and hit the guy on the elliptical trainer. He's pissed.

[@JacquelineSoulchick]

hahahahahahahahahaaha

[@finnthehuman566]

captmoonbeam awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[@2Lisie]

This is one of my favorite videos for cycling and walking at home. I'm happy to see it's still here!

[@ameliemartin4137]

Lovely places and lovely music. Thank you for that. Every thing is perfect.

[@AnonyMous-zy4wu]

Thos is so gorgeous. Even without exercise! Thankyou for making it.

[@gwen7070]

Thank you for this! The weather's horrible where I live today, and looking at this scenery really helps with my workout.

[@tetmedina7609]

Your virtual ride is helping/encouraging me to do my stationery bike this pandemic time!! The music is my type of music too!! God bless

[@audreythomas1124]

That was beautiful...thanks!! Now, I don't have to stare at the wall...lol

[@mypaintingslight]

Best video on whole internet ! Thank you . Please, make a new one with same route now in spring.

[@wakelywanderer12]

The scenery, color, and perspective are perfect. The same ride at normal speed would make it one of the best videos of this kind on KZbin.

[@grandjunctionbooboo]

Nothing like shaking up the brain with a waltz on the treadmill.

[@genspi5177]

The scenery is like nothing around here, this is perfect for a 30 min power walk on the treadmill...too hot to go outside right now so this will do the trick! Thanks.

[@copswife99]

Love Love this! Got on my stationary bicycle and took off! Loved the music at the end. Coming into the home stretch , my arms went straight up in victory! Yay!

[@JohnGee123]

This video is more suitable for playing a Car Simulator game than any kind of exercise.

[@rianethompson5220]

Loved walking to this! Perfect scenery, perfect music! I’ll be back often!

[@ruthmidgett7115]

Just what I was looking for! Thanks from Virginia Beach, VA!

[@sonjaritz2657]

[@eaglevp]

[@kayleighhilyard]

My dog was watching me on the treadmill... he looked very confused. lol Beautiful countryside

[@juliettenavarrete4127]

I love the music, thank you. It´s perfect for my rutine.

[@Charbythedesert]

Used this with my elliptical and time flew! Love the beautiful scenery and music!!

[@dianedwyer6725]

Love it and all the other videos you have set up. I’m sitting on my exercise bike looking out at a wet, sleety day and imagining I am on the Cotswolds. Thank you so much for giving me the incentive to keep on exercising!

[@Mobliz]

I sat at my desk eating food for 30 minutes while watching this, lol.

[@evetefendimsepetefendim]

It was so beautiful 30 minutes! If you live there you're so lucky. Hi from Turkey!!!

[@shelleyvan1549]

I love this film, its absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much, I can't wait to get back on my bike!

[@randomname5706]

Can I just say. I hate walking but I really want to visit the UK. So I put this on and I was so taken by the sights that I didn't even notice 30 minutes had passed. Please make more of these. Simply Beautiful. Never enjoyed working out so much.

[@ilariabianco8568]

Gorgeous video. The Cotswolds are fantastic. Greetings from Italy❤️💯🤗

[@heresmytwocents5977]

This is so beautiful! I love the incredibly green landscape and the houses! It feels like a movie set. I was (almost) looking for Harry Potter! I can't afford to travel much so I really appreciate this. Thank you!

[@liberryteacher]

I love this! I've tried out several of these types of videos on youtube but so far I like this one the best. Some are so slow and the scenery all looks sort of the same. I like the varying speed and twists and turns. Thanks! Please do more!

[@josiesmith2773]

Loved this tour - thank you for making it, my exercise was so much more enjoyable. I would love to see more of these! :)

[@tjmobile1]

Do you get strange looks from People when driving a treadmill through these areas?

[@amybeth5776]

LOL!

[@symonesotica6246]

LOL!

[@walktheworld2080]

I hear this is a common thing around Gloucester :-)

[@ceciliatrevino3242]

Yes, I do but, when that happens I just give them a Texas Hola! or, a California Howdy depending on the look they give me.

[@soysauce6534]

Lmao

[@juliesonnenburg853]

Thanks for the tour, maybe next fall go this route when the colorful leaves are on the trees, aww what the heck summer , spring , winter too.

[@lisasummers6746]

my first scenic workout, loved it! I thought the speedups were workout intervals, and I loved there was a natural scenic warning that there would be a shift to speed up or slow down. never quite got used to vehicles popping up on the left (from USA) but that added a bit of spice to the workout, as did the finale music--great timing! Thanks!

[@hunniihannah1]

I’ve been trying to cycle now for a while to de stress and this has honestly been the best film to cycle with!

[@luvatenor]

Fabulous- wonderful way to exercise- a million thanks for the great job-Rolf

[@FrankBellairs]

Great idea and Video Rick - lovely views of the English countryside in autumn.

[@kenann72]

Just came across this video today and used it while taking a brisk treadmill walk. Very much enjoyed the scenery and winding through the narrow roadways you have there. Being from Western Canada I am only familiar with wide highways & roadways. Thanks for posting this as I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful scenery! Also I thought your video quality was great!

[@hillarys8433]

I love these- thanks! "It feels like I'm running at incredible rates." :)

[@RaysofLight1000]

Love it! Took a sneak preview this evening, will do the whole tour in the morning. Thank you for sharing!

[@juliemeibaum2476]

I loved to see the England countryside! Especially in Autumn! Such quaint cottages. Going over the rivers is my favorite part.

[@nikkiearle8680]

Love it! Thank you..the best!

[@lillymagnolia3565]

So beautiful! And love the music!

[@CatherineDean]

Thank you so much Rick for making and posting this lovely video. It is the perfect English countryside like we Americans can only imagine. Great job and I hope you do more!

[@woodturningjohn]

Very nice ride through the country, Thanks for taking me along.

[@lisaberry3764]

Always wanted to go to the Cotswolds... now I dont have to! Great video! :)

[@MarS-do9dh]

Enjoying your treadmill videos, helps. Keep em coming! Would be sick to have some of rocky or hilly terrain!

[@landespyrenees]

Absolutely brilliant. Im drenched!

[@lizs9312]

Wow, that was wonderful, thank you so much! The best 30 minutes I've had so far on my treadmill! Love the music!

[@kitkatceo]

I bought a walking treadmill and was looking for something motivational to use with my wireless headset and this video was great. Love the classical music choices. I'm actually able to control my pulse against higher speed settings. Especially the funny 1000 points roadkill insert. That had me laughing!

[@alissagannaway5025]

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

[@lisahughes2351]

Love this vid! I use it often with my bike on a trainer during the snowy wintery months and I recommend it frequently to friends. Thanks for taking the time to make and share it!

[@Karl63601]

Thanks so much Rick. I haven't been getting out much while I recover from this stroke. Thanks for the ride through the lovely countryside, and for the great music. Please do another when you can.

[@LindaDeeTee]

Thanks so much for sharing this! It was wonderful running to a gorgeous place I'll likely never get to see in person.

[@amberkleinerful]

Wow, it's very beautiful there. Thank you for posting this. I found my self "leaning" into the corners and almost losing my balance , haha. This video made my workout enjoyable :)

[@imnotlisamynameis9252]

Thanks so much for this video! Love the scenery and the music. Since I started watching two weeks ago, I've lost 7 lbs and racked up a lot of points.

[@virtualfitnesstv]

Awesome, Thank you so much for making a virtual record from such lovely city so approachable.

[@maryk3145]

Awe darn, I wanted to stop at someone's home and have a spot of tea :-)

[@whitedog9260]

You have such amazingly beautiful country! Could only ever DREAM of visiting one day. I thoroughly enjoy this!

[@OffbeatHomesteader]

Wow, I'm running SO fast!

[@dragonbone5000]

Off-beat Homesteader I put it on slow speed and play my own music. Because I am walking, the fast speed was disorientating.

[@janicezielaskowski5490]

Just finished and I was actually jogging on treadmill! The scenary and video quality was great. I even enjoyed the classical music! Thank you!!

[@JimAckroyd]

Brilliant Rick. So good I watched it twice!. More please. Regards Jim

[@jesusfdez4892]

You can not imagine how useful I find this. I am spanish and I hope one day I could go to UK and see all that scenery. I really appreciate your job on this channel. Thank you so much!

[@MazSix45]

Thank youuuuuu. I despise the treadmill, but this made it fly by.

[@kandancelaroy71]

Omg! I survived! Thank you for this!!!

[@tjmobile1]

Baby bird part was awesome. Maybe not for the victim.

[@Agirlsparadoxlife]

Thank you so much! ive been looking for something like this, this is awesome for going to the gym on the treadmill. ,

[@jesusfdez4892]

Rick, I follow your channel since 2010 I think, I've watched almost all your videos. I am from Spain, I'am studyin English studies because I really love your country and, every time I watch this video again, it gives me the strength needed to pursue my dreams. I really really really love your channel, you are a wonderful guy and the kind of person I would like the world full of.

[@Calatriste54]

Delightful, though I'm sure you Brits don't ride those roads quite so fast. Banzai! Must visit!

[@bookstore55]

Just set up my bike trainer for the winter. Thank you for these!! Saved me from tedium. Earphones in with my workout playlist on, and this on my screen while it rains outside : )

[@TK0576]

just wanted to say, Thank you for taking the time to do this, it helps my workout and takes my mind off the surrounding environment, nice change of pace.

[@williammullikin2076]

I wish he would make more

[@Deanriley]

Love this-happy memorie

[@jangrusz2555]

Fantastic scenery but would love to see it again in the Summer sun with green trees too ;)

[@bluedazz]

That was wonderful. Beautiful country side. Lush and green. Now I need a treadmill. : ).

[@kawannabenson4349]

Love these videos. Anyone that doesn't like how fast it is, you can control playback speed...

[@AndEis93]

Amazing and very helpful. Makes time go by fast! Thank you.

[@karenfrench6227]

thank you. These videos are perfect for my workout on the treadmill.

[@annmarie6570]

I love this!!! This place is incredibly beautiful!!

[@TheWhoIsItOfWhoCares]

Ikr. I mean I love city and all but this is just so close to nature. Away from all the cars and noise of city and close to all natural ambiance.

[@Mauser_.]

Lovely idea and a great video. Thank you very very much :)

[@zigzagtime4039]

I love the flying carpet idea best!

[@bluemoonjazz]

Brilliant! Just the thing for my exercise bike as I can watch on large screen TV. Ok it is a bit fast at times, but if it gets scary I just stop pedalling and freewheel for a while. Lovely scenery and Autumn colours. Well done!

[@jdmccoy1999]

Beautiful!!! Helped me forget I was on my treadmill. Hope you make more of these videos.

[@007vauxhall]

I enjoyed that very much, a place I love to visit..thanks Rick :-)

[@belenvera9364]

Fantastic! a really want to see more videos like this! the music is so perfect and the view is wonderful!

[@pathfinder1273]

I clicked on settings and set it at half-speed and quarter-speed. Much better for walking/running!
