If you use , with its wide dynamic range, to avoid boredom, you have a problem with the soft passages being drowned out by ambient noise. So:

• Use equipment that’s safe with your eyes closed: elliptical machines rather than treadmills.

• Listen to old recordings with compressed dynamics: for Bruckner’s 8th, pick Rosbaud, not Boulez.
