    Treadmill while playing a musical instrument

    As a pure math student, i have little free time. Since i also like music and need to do some exercise, i thought about the possibility of doing some cardio (in a treadmill) at same time as i practice playing music (electric guitar). Are there reasons not to do this? About safety i can just put some mattresses behind the treadmill so that doesn't seem like a reason not to do it.

    Your cardio isn’t intense at all if you’re playing electric guitar while you do it. Life gets a lot busier than being a math student, but do what works for you best.

    Am trying to get a PHD, so it does get very busy. I was hoping that with practice maybe i'd be able to have reasonable intensity cardio and still being able to practice at same time, but i don't know, this does seem like a very worrying issue.

    You’d prob get a safer and more effective cardio and jam session if you just rock out to the beat with the electric guitar… dance, headbang, windmills, ACDC duckwalks etc.

    I’m learning a language with my iPod while on the treadmill.

    That is realistic multi-tasking.

    If you could juggle butcher knifes while blindfolded singing karaoke on a treadmill I would be impressed.

    Before Paul Hogan became famous, he got a tv spot in Australia for a tap dance and knife throwing performance. It was a one time gig. He built up the anticipation. Tapped his feet twice and then threw a handful of knives at a wall.

    I was in the audience of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson when Paul Hogan was his guest. One of his Crocodile Dundee movies was released that day. We saw it too.

    That's an ironic coincidence too, if he had a mishap juggling knives the day you watched that movie.

    I used to study for my finals in college by reading a paragraph between sets. I majored in history so most of my work was reading and paper writing, so this was a good way to economize time. For my econ minor this was not very feasible, however.

    I think you’d be ok with the triangle or cowbell. Electric guitar? Not so much.

    I don’t think Noel Gallagher ever replaced his scissors player. Could be another option.
