Let’s be honest, when you’re about to run 5km on the treadmill, put yourself through fifty squats, or do some hardcore rowing, we’d all be grateful for the time to pass a little quicker. Whilst I’m not about to offer you a crazy gadget that speeds up time (sadly), I can recommend you some really great podcasts that will at least make it feel like time is passing quicker while you’re hard at work getting that dream bod. Whether you’re looking for a podcast to get you motivated to get fitter and healthier and work harder, or you’re simply looking for a podcast that will take you out of the gym and get you thinking about something else to help the time pass by faster, at least one of these will be ideal for you.

The Russell Brand, Zoe Sugg and Chessie King podcasts are particular favourites of mine.
If you’re looking for something more gripping and shocking to really take you out of the gym and place you in a horror story, the Casefile podcasts will certainly do that for you.
