    I think I'm a bit of a Prime noob, but how do you make it so you can access Prime instant streaming without needing wifi? Or is that possible? I have an account, but no wifi/internet access at my gym, so would need to have them downloaded in advance. I just didn't want to pay to do that. If it's included in the subscription, though, that'd be amazing.

    I'm not sure, but you may need to have a Kindle Fire to do it. When I go to my computer I don't see the download option listed.

    It's all about the music throughout my runs/elliptical. When I'm on the bike, then it's music and Kindle - I just keep reading whatever I'm reading when I'm not at the gym.

    Occasionally I'll watch one of the television screens if there's something good on.

    I listen to music while I workout usually. Sometimes, when I am really struggling I prefer to turn the music off and focus. My gym isn't that loud. I am a huge book worm so the idea of reading is appealing, but I am too clumsy. If I get through without getting my pants wrapped up in the pedals on the bike (done it before) and without falling on my face its a good workout lol. I have to look down at every step I take on the stair master... Im a mess and totally envious of those of you that can read at the gym lol

    I listen to stand-up comedians on Pandora when I'm doing cardio like the elliptical or treadmill. I don't use any entertainment when weight training or I'll get unfocused.

    I would usually situate myself on a machine in front of a TV when Ellen was on... it was very easy to distract myself watching her show because she's hilarious. As for reading, it really had to be a book i'm really into or I will get distracted. Music... I like rock music to really get myself pumped up... and I recently found this great app called rockmyrun that has a ton of mixes that you can listen to (free). You can search by your favorite music genres... its pretty cool. Before I had the app I would listen to FOB, Muse, Breaking Benjamin, stuff like that with a good beat.
