Make Exercise Entertaining with the Surf Shelf Laptop Holder
67How I made exercise entertaining with the Surf Shelf
I have made the impossible possible. I have officially made exercise NOT boring. I know, I know. Sounds impossible to most- but I have finally done it.
Want to know my secret? It’s this handy dandy laptop holder that attaches to your bike, elliptical, or treadmill. It is called Surf Shelf. I never knew that a piece of well designed plastic could make the impossible possible.
I know there are many people who LOVE to exercise and never get bored. In fact- they welcome the monotonous routine and happily run on that treadmill for an hour or more. Well- that is not me. (NO WAY!) I hate exercising. Not so much because of the physical activity, but really because I get…sooooooo…BORED.
To see why I am not bored anymore during exercise, go here.
My mind starts wandering when I am on that bike in the garage…with nothing to look at to entertain me. I start thinking about how my legs are starting to burn, when I should start dinner, what is on TV, and what other possibly productive things I could be doing like paying the bills, or even catching up on last week’s episode of Lost that I missed…probably because I was on this bike! Lol
Ok so you get the point. Exercising can be boring. But with the Surf Shelf, everything is better. It makes it easier to work out, I can watch TV, surf the net, pay bills online, catch up on the news, find new recipes for dinner, and whatever else I either need to do or have to do that day. And it is super sturdy so any motion or vibration from the bike doesn’t even affect it. The laptop stays in place so I can type, mouse around, or whatever I need to do. I can even plugin the headphones if I am watching a movie or listening to my favorite music.
All in all, my exercise routine has become more productive with the Surf Shelf. When I purchased it from the website, it was delivered super fast- like a few days it was on my doorstep. I installed the simple device quickly and easily. I didn’t need help from my husband. I simple placed my laptop on the surface, and I was ready to go! Now when I work out, I can actually spend more time on the bike because what feels like 10 minutes worth of exercise, is really a full 30 minutes! I can multi-task and time flies by with Surf Shelf. Plus- I feel like I am being productive beyond taking care of my health. As a busy mom and wife, what I spend my time on effects the whole family.

I don’t have money for the gym- especially with the tough times right now. So having this awesome addition to my at home equipment is really great. I get the perks of being at a fancy gym without having to pay!
I think I might get one for my husband for his office bike. That way he has no excuse to work out either! If I can do it- he can do it!
If you find working out at home on your home exercise equipment can be boring, try the Surf Shelf. Make the impossible possible and finally make working out fun!
