I listen to my Google Music on my phone ranging from 80s, 90s and 2000s and today. Mostly upbeat stuff that gets your body pumped up.

    I have such a love/hate relationship with my jump rope....but when on the rower/elip its music...the louder/heavier the better.

    I shadow box, dance and sing while I run. Yes, I am one of those idiots and I don't care who it annoys.

    Well said....my gym is in NYC which is incredible for human observation. Yoga pants are at a premium too so that helps

    You can't tell me I'm the only one who does this!!!

    I also say hi to people if I know them and stop and talk. If I'm at the rink for cardio stuff I still curse but often I talk to someone

    apparently I talk a lot

    I guess I should have been a 'haha' on my last time I messaged... anything to get your mind at ease and most importantly STAY motivated!

    I like to watch Jeopardy on the elliptical. Exercise my mind as well as my body. Most of the other cardio I do is in a class...Zumba or something similar...and I am usually just focused on the steps. If I am exercising outdoors...jogging or cycling...I just enjoy the scenery...sometimes I'll make up stories or sing songs in my head. I can never keep earbuds in my ears when I'm running.

    I run outside, so I watch for wildlife and sometimes get distracted by beautiful scenery.

    I watch Netflix, Hulu (I'm currently binge watching Blue Bloods) or read a book on my Kindle. I loves my cardio time!

    ETA: It it's my walking day as opposed to my running day, I may even post on MFP.

    My favorite thing to do while doing cardio is...not do cardio.

    When I walk with my dog outside, she is the one trying to keep up with me. Then she stops and takes a leak...lol
