37 Bingeworthy TV Shows For The Treadmill

Maybe you are ready to get back on the treadmill after an extended break, and need a reason to get it going? Maybe you are already a seasoned treadmill pro looking for new ideas for shows to watch while working up that sweat? Maybe you are brand new to the treadmill world and trying to figure out what you are going to do?

The following are some of the top rated TV shows that are bingeworthy! Important to note, if you are selecting a show for the treadmill, it is highly recommended that you stream your show of choice only when you are on the treadmill. You want to use the show as motivation to get you going, and if you just start watching it whenever, your motivation could suffer.

Now, the TV shows listed below all have one thing in common. They are OVER! That means you can watch them from beginning to end and get that amazing sense of completion and satisfaction. Also, we have tried to avoid shows that ended on cliffhangers and were canceled. Again, we want to enjoy our treadmill experience, and we want the closure of watching a TV series to that final episode that nicely wraps everything up in a bow.

Having said that, several shows that would have been recommended aren't being recommended at the time of this writing. It could be that by the time you are reading this, these shows have indeed ended. So please forgive us if we haven't updated this page yet. Shows that would make the list but don't include Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Gotham, Arrow, The Flash, Stranger Things, Orange Is The New Black, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Modern Family, Shameless, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Good Place and iZombie.

Now, on to the list! These are just our suggestions, feel free to skip any you don't like. Happy Treadmilling!!
