I bought a tiny mp3 player -- download music files from my computer to the player. It goes in a
pocket and has a control that clips onto a shirt. Ear buds. It is only about 3" x 2-1/2 inches in
size and very thin.

I make sure I have pants with a pocket to hold it.

Makes the time on the treadmill pass much faster, but I also like listening to music when
walking outdoors.

If you don't have pockets, I guess you could put onein a [censored] pack or some kind of pouch around
your neck.

Ditto. They're excellent, aren't they? I recommend purchasing one.

CD players are often weighty and cumbersome, so hanging one round your neck might be a tad
obstructive, especially if you're walking briskly.

I've an inkling these are equally impractical solutions, but you might try clipping it onto the
waistband of your shorts, if that's not too uncomfortable. Or find an inconceivably lengthy pair of
earphones and sit your CD player on the ground or a table whilst you walk on the treadmill; or,
indeed, use wireless earphones. ;-)

Wear shorts with pockets.

Treadmills at my gym have places to keep a water bottle, etc., and a small portable CD player would
fit in -- you would need a longish cord on the head phones and make sure you don't get tangled up.
If you were walking outdoors you could carry one in a lightweight backpack of some kind. Where there
is a will there is a way!

There are [censored]-pack and arm-band style players or pouches. Check in a sports-stuff store. bj
