Every morning I get up around 6:30 and head to the gym.  I usually do about forty-five minutes of cardio (today I only went for 30).  During those 45 minutes I normally read a book or watch TV.    However, I constantly have to find new books to read and the news on TV is so depressing.  That is why I could not wait to get my Samsung Q1.  Yesterday I customized it with movies, music and games.  Then today I headed to the gym. 

Upon getting there I put my bags in the locker, grabbed my Q1 and headed for the Stairmaster Stepmill.  I jumped on the Stepmill and selected my workout program.  The Q1 fit perfectly in the magazine rack and it completely covered the display area so I did not have to stare at the countdown timer. 

I started off by playing a quick game of Spider (I beat the game in 126 moves, is that good or not?).  It actually worked out pretty well; I think that I prefer playing spider with touch instead of using the mouse.  I felt like I had a lot more control of where the cards were dropped (sometimes when I use a mouse, the cards get dropped on the wrong set).  After conquering Spider, I played a quick round of Hexic. Hexic was a little more difficult to play while going on the Stepmill.  It required a lot of concentration, because moving the small pieces was difficult while working-out which caused me to trip on the Stepmill often. 

After almost going face first in to the Stepmill I decided it would be best if I tried something new.  So I played “Rumor Has It”, which I downloaded from Movielink last night.  The movie looked great on the Q1 and in no time the Stepmill came to a stop and I had completed my workout.  All in all, using the Q1 for my entertainment while doing cardio worked out very well.  I am not sure how it will work on some of the other cardio machines though (the ones where you bounce more – such as a treadmill).  I will have to try that another day.
