Treadmill Book Holders - Magazine Racks and Stands For Treadmills
A treadmill book rest opens up a wide variety of ways to entertain yourself while you burn off some pounds. Let's be honest, a running machine is one of the least interesting fitness machines in the gym and that's why you want to have as many distractions on hand as possible to make your workout go faster. Reading during exercise is one of the ways people pass the time and treadmill reading racks allow you to do this hand free which is pretty much a necessity if you are going to use this machine safely and be comfortable doing so.
Most exercise machines already come with a built in magazine holder but in fairness, most of these are woefully poor at doing the job for which they were designed because they are too narrow to do the job properly. If you want a book holder for a treadmill or a decent secure magazine shelf or tablet computer stand then you are going to need to spend a little cash on one of the thankfully inexpensive treadmill book holders on the market today. These will provide a wide stable platform upon which to rest books, magazines etc. and are easy to use and require minimal installation making them ideal for the home or for taking with you to a gym or health club.
The following selection of treadmill book rests, reading stands and accessories will give you plenty of ways to read in comfort while you do your daily work out.
Personally, I got sick of music and TV pretty fast and prefer to immerse myself in some good reading material whether that is in print form or on my tablet. The cool thing here is any of these stands will allow you to do both with ease and they're small and lightweight enough to slip into a backpack and take along with you without having to worry about one taking up a lot of room or whether your gym has their own and if they do, if they're going to be available when you get there.
It's funny how such a simple thing can turn a monotonous activity like working out, which many of us know is necessary to maintain good health but often come to hate, into something pleasurable and even something to look forward to. For me, that hour in the gym each morning is one of the few times throughout my week where I actually get some "me time" where I can read in peace without a whole heap of interruptions.
Which Are The Best Reading Racks For Treadmills?

Typically book holders for treadmills slide over the console itself which gives them a firm stable platform upon which to rest but this does mean that at least whilst you have a book on the book stand, you can't see what the console display is saying. It also does make it harder to reach the console buttons if, for example, you want to do something like manually adjust the speed or the incline. If that's not a problem for you then types of treadmill book mounted racks and shelves will no doubt be ideal for you. For others, who like to see the feedback on such things as time, distance and current incline and heart rate which the console shows you on a good treadmill, you will have to look at the range of mounted treadmill clamp holders or floor standing book holders instead.
