I'll join others in seconding the idea of combining language learning with exercise.
Going to the gym is mindnumbingly boring and whether it's weightlifting or treadmill it doesn't require even an iota of attention (except maybe to check people out). Language learning, especially initial phases of audio learning, are fun for the brain, but induce a feeling of restlessness. Two birds... The only downside that I see, at least in my experience, is that if I cut one, I end up cutting the other as well. And this goes both ways. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Hmm, I have to disagree. When I lift weights, I need to focus solely on that: It requires (for me at least) as much
mental as physical attention to make certain I am putting full effort into it and getting the most out of it. Likewise with language studying: I need to apply my mind completely to that. That's not to say, however, that I don't enjoy practising or revising what I've learned during an easy afternoon stroll -- which can also be a good time to listen to audio materials! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||
