exercise wheels
Rodent running circles
An exercise wheel is a rotating cylinder that allows small caged animals—hamsters, mice, gerbils—to run in place.
The wheel spins as the animal runs, providing activity within confined spaces.
The image extends to humans stuck in repetitive, going-nowhere routines: I feel like I'm on an exercise wheel at this job.
