30 Minutes Workout - Virtual Scenery - Treadmill / Exercise Machine (Cotswolds UK) 1080/60fps

Treadmill? Exercise bike? Cross trainer? Rowing machine? Flying carpet? Beat the boredom with a virtual tour around the picturesque Hobbit Shires of Gloucester and the Cotswolds, while you work out for a full 30 minutes. SEE NOTES BELOW REGARDING SPEED...
The music was made by me and I acknowledge not to everyone's tastes, so do feel free to mute and use your own music :o)
(Best enjoyed at full 1080p @ 60 frames per second)
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 tedious very quickly.
In the end I settled for real-time driving speed which provides sufficient changes of scenery to keep the visuals interesting, bearing in mind most people will be using this video as a distraction from the tedium of exercise anyway. The faster speed also allows you to see much more of the area than you would do at slower speeds. :o)

How poignant and beautiful...and this is a beautiful area. It took my mind away from my troubles and the issues of this world. I am sorry for your loss and wishing you blessings from my little corner of the world to yours.

[@spacewalla3574]

As a 70 year old, I like these videos when on my exercise bike, but I do find the music distracting. What I do is, to replace the music with real bird song and other country background sounds. This makes it a more realistic ride through the country. Thanks

Fighting off depression by trying to just get out of bed - this had the perfect amount of trees and beautiful countryside to make getting on my stationary bike actually worthwhile. Thank you SO MUCH for this. It's going to be a delightful habit... and I'm going to make it one by blogging about it. :) At first the speed felt a little hectic but then I made an effort to just enjoy it for what it was, and it turned out to be quite nice. Thank you again - now my brain is woken up enough to start studying for the day! :)

[@ouachealthwellbeingwithgra7292]

Hello! Have you tried reducing the playback speed? (The little gear icon at the bottom right of the screen). I've started a fitness and health channel focused towards those who are working through depression/anxiety. I'm actually trained in mathematics, believe it or not, with a second degree in psychology. I haven't quite found a place in society yet, so in the meantime I'm enjoying video editing. I'm still at the stage where I'm trying to figure out ways to improve my videos. I have a couple walking videos with hiking footage. And am looking into just posting the raw outdoor footage, something similar to this video. Check it out, you may like it. Stay strong. Also, I'd be interested in reading your blog, if it's public.

[@561REALTLK]

Hope you're better now. I've gone through that before.

I love this! I'm a 70 year old grandma and during my younger days, running has helped me a lot. In 2007, I joined the Annual Army 10 Miler Run in Washinton DC where I used to work. I was 58 years old. I finished the run in 2 hours 44 minutes. Now at my age, I only hit my treadmill with your video to keep me healthy. Awesome!! Thanks a lot!

My first time workout using this video. My husband bought us a simple easy exercise bike and I am just beginning. I enjoyed this video with beautiful scenery and music. It allows me to go at my own speed and intensity. I will be 69 this week and am looking forward to going the distance with this workout.

[@deborahbennett9330]

Your virtual scene is amazing!! This is the first time I've been able to run/walk on my treadmill for full 30 mins w/out watching the clock every 5 mins. This will be my new inspiration video. Thanks!

[@waynez3455]

Hey there! I completely understand your struggle with trying to keep yourself motivated during workouts, it can be a real challenge. But I have to tell you, ever since I started using the freebeat Lit Bike, my workouts have been completely transformed! The immersive experience of riding along with stimulating music truly keeps me engaged and feeling like I'm accomplishing something meaningful during my workouts. Not only do I feel like my exercise is more effective, but I look forward to my daily rides on the Lit Bike, excited to see what kind of experience my next class will bring. The virtual scenery is amazing, and I really feel like I'm getting a full workout without getting bored or feeling like I'm just going through the motions. Thank you for sharing your experience, and I encourage you to give freebeat a try if you're looking for a new and exciting way to enhance your workouts!

One of its outstanding features is that you can charge the bike when you use it indoors! It also has a powerful motor and impressive speed, which makes riding a lot more exciting. Plus, with its innovative Smart Saddle Detection+ feature, you can easily achieve your fitness goals. It's definitely worth checking out if you're into e-bikes!

BRILLIANT! SPEED - I think the speed is perfect for an exercise bike or the like, perhaps a bit awkward on an treadmill is you’re not going full tilt (one can always use the KZbin settings to go at 1/2 speed, more, or less). I spent 20min today reviewing other 'virtual rides' and they all bored me to death with their "realistic" pace. MUSIC - I feel your choices are really good actually. Motivational. At the gym I may have a choice RHCP, or Santana, or…, but, using your music is so simple. Just click on the video and “Go!” “…Evidently!” - I found this video last year and went nuts on it to the point of doing a number on my knees where I had to stop. I’m back, taking it a wee bit more gradual till I strengthen the knees and heart! I forgot how much I enjoyed the scenery and music. Many thanks, mate!
