what do you think about while exercising?

hahahaha....I curse Jillian too, but feel awesome afterwards! I curse Bob from time to time as well!

I got some good ones: I think about how my wife betrayed me after being together for 10 years. about beating the **** out of the other dude. I think about my new single life and how I gotta look good. and finally I imagine having to run to save my son's life...that one really gets me going!

Having to run to save your child?! Damn. That made my heart beat fast and gave me mild anxiety. Sometimes I'm a little too empathetic.

mom23nuts

Wow folks! I loved all of these they were great so funny and inspirational.

So it's not just me that has a wandering crazy mind....

Sometimes my husband and I will have a conversation and then try to back track how we even ended up on the topic we were on...those are fun moments too.

Oh thank God I never did drugs or my mind droppings would be way WAY more crazy.

keep em coming I love it!

Why am I up so damn early?
I'm 45 minutes closer to looking like Ryan Reynolds.
Damn I sweat a lot.
One day I'll see my feet when I look down.
Man, I would really injure myself if I fell off this elliptical machine.
My arms hurt.
I really need to get an HRM so I'll know what I'm really burning.
One day you'll be mine! (As I stare at the calendar girl hanging right in front of the machine).
This better pay off?
Where am I gonna get the money to replace my entire wardrobe if this really pays off?

These are the few things that run through my mind.....

Loved this! My hubby and I got a kick out of this!

If that chick on the Wii Zumba tells me one more I'm doing great when I know I look like a lumbering elephant I will choke her. Why am I screaming at a video game? this is not a video game. I remember video games. Ms. Pacman! I rocked Ms Pacman. I can't breath. I hope my son remember hows to call 911. IthinkI'mdying. Wait. It's over? Yes! I did it!

Oh my God!!! too true I have had to remind my kids about 911 too and if they hear a loud thunk it means mommy fell of the treadmill again and remember to put the damn Wii on pause and come down to check on me please.

If I'm in cardio kickboxing, I think that I must be in a time warp, because the clock is not moving, and how I might not survive until the end. If I'm in the early portion of a run, I try to envision myself in my ideal physical condition running a half marathon. Then when the pain sets in, I think about how it might be inconvenient to walk on stubs if my feet fall off. On the elliptical, I pretty much imagine being a rock star singing whatever song is on my iPod at the moment. I have to keep myself from singing out loud. I think the management would frown upon that.

Loved it!
Things going through my mind (when I walk):
Please, God, don't let either of my dogs poop in someone's yard
Oh, I hope Ariel doesn't try to attack other dogs- better walk another route so we don't see those dogs that are always loose
I sure hope I don't need to go to the bathroom once I get halfway there
Oh! That tree smells good!
Wow, the sun's barely over the horizon, I'm walking in the shade, and I'm soaked with sweat- nasty!
Did anyone just see me wipe my face with the bottom of my shirt? bet that big white belly was quite a shock
Why is that man carrying a big stick?
Why does Ariel think she has to sniff of people?
Oh, that's probably why he's carrying the big stick... I need to get a stick
Oooo, ooo, oo! A stick!
Ugh, carrying a stick with two dog leashes is not easy
Ugh, wiping my face with the bottom of my shirt while carrying a big stick and two dog leashes, while one dog tries to bite the neighbor's dog through the fence is not easy
Home!

Sometimes I wonder about what I'm going to be eating later or what I'll be fixing for dinner. :laugh:

And I've wondered several times (while doing the 30 day shred) Does Jillian ever just shut the f up during this? and Why can't I slap her through the tv screen, I'd feel so much better! :laugh:

While walking down the pretty deserted road and cars would pass... Really you have to stare...haven't you seen a person walking before. :grumble: :laugh:

lol and I wonder if my deoderant will last or will I need a quick shower after? Shouldn't I be sweating more? When is this workout over?

caitmarshhh

haha too funny.

I pretty much just check out everyone in the gym....notice the ones who I aspire to have the results of...and notice the cute boys (I'm only human) :happy:

haha yes! so much eye candy :P

Home!

Yes this was hilarious and too true...I forget my towel all the time before heading to the gym and have to use my shirt to mop up while on the treadmill and must scare quite a few members with the big white belly flash. Well at least it keeps them motivated to not get a belly like mine!

My thoughts are totally dependent on the type of exercise. If it's Insanity, I'm basically just getting through the workout and telling Shaun T that I hate him, but I don't mean it because he seems too nice to really hate, or I'm cursing at Tanya, a woman in the dvds whom I love to hate. (Seriously, how many matching workout outfits does this woman have and how do her boobs stay in place?)

If I'm doing the elliptical, (this is really weird, I know) I do math problems. I figure out how many calories I'm burning per minute, how many minutes it will take to get to a specific number if I keep up the pace, how many revolutions I will get to at the end of the workout. I also try to calculate the number of minutes going forward and backwards. (I alternate whenever the next song starts playing). All along the way, I wonder, "Will I finish this before my son wakes up?" I decide on what to wear for the day, what jewelry to put on, what I have to bring to work that day, what time I have to enter. Basically, all over the place.

Ha Ha! I do math too! I've been told I am nuts!

I do some math to...how many calories will I burn by the end of the workout. Along with that I count how many strides, or I count every other stride and try not to look at the clock until 1 minute has past. Then I hear the door to the gym open I have have to see who it is, hope I don;t fall off the elliptical or treadmill when I look, then onto what I am going to cook for dinner...it seems to always end with food

If I'm doing strength training I think about how bored I am or how much what I'm doing hurts.

If I'm doing cardio I just naturally begin working out a problem if I'm dealing with stuff. Sometimes I'll think about how much I want to punch someone *cough*noonespecific*cough* Or sometimes if I'm listening to music the song makes me think of a memory and I start to reminisce or I think of whatever feeling it conjures up.

During 30DS.

Shut up!
I hate you, Jillian.
Damn it, I am NOT phoning it in! How about you turn around and tell Natalie to stop phoning it in?!
I don't NEED 6 pack abs. I'm fine with less blubber.

During c25k.

Ugh, why am I doing this?
I wonder if I can outrun zombies now.
Geez, I smell bad.
I LOVE this song.
That's such a pretty picture of the bridge. I'm totally running it next year.
My shin hurts.
It's been 40 minutes, I should stop now.
Shut the *#(@ up and keep going, fatty!

Repeat as needed.

I am seeing a lot of love/hate for Jillian and I feel the same when I wtch her on the Biggest Loser so I know I would probably throw something at my TV if I attempted her workout.

fitnessjch

Ideally I find a machine behind a very hot woman and I imagine I am chasing her. The faster I go, the better chance I will catch her. Never catch her but I burn a ton of calories.

haha, love it! No hot blokes at our gym though

apmemo

My mind wanders the most during spin class. I find that the time flies when I start thinking of things like a grocery list and meal ideas, possible outfit combinations, or ways to rearrange or redecorate a room. When I'm running through my neighborhood I like to find one thing I would change on each house, like the front door or some plants or something.

janey1306

Merrychrissmith

I read when on recumbent bike. 30 minutes goes by fast. I meditate when walking/slow jog....empty mind. Some focused daydreaming.

juliecat1

I usually end up dancing or singing before the gym session is over. I get way into my tunes. Otherwise its counting, breathing, smack talking myself. Dang he looks fiiiiine. I gotta beat this person next to me. Faster ! Harder!

Teeteetare

I think the same thing!

I pray. I thank the Good Lord for allowing me to wake up, take a nice fresh breath of air, and thank HIM for allowing me to have what it takes to do my exercising!!!

jodycoady

I think about the good old days when I lived in a huge city, had sooo much freedom and had a ball clubbing and laughing with my friends...especially when a song from that era comes on my ipod.

Or I just plain fantasize about having the body I used to. Damn that 24 inch waist and abs....the time when belly shirts were in, lol

GasMasterFlash

albinogorilla

Since I am usually in a gym by myself (work gym at 1am) I pace quite a bit and tell myself (outloud) what a p***y I am.............then I call myself a bunch of nasty names..........and get it done

bricktowngal

I think of a drill sgt in my face tellling me to move faster, pull in my stomach and get down and give him 20, hahaha

jacque1129

I think about everything but working out. What I want for dinner. Why none of my friends talk to me. Random stuff. Hahaha.
