Any one else work out WITHOUT music?

If i am at CrossFit they have music blaring most of the time. If i am home and on the treadmill, I watch TV (I really dont like running), but if I am doing straight weight training I am good with silence.

I knew I wasn't completely alone. I get distracted easy. One minute I'm counting reps the next..........Oooh Shiny!

rsrsrs I know! Some people say music is distracting to them, but I really need just one thing that I can focus on, otherwise I cannot stay in one spot for more than 5 minutes and I have to keep walking around and switching things up.

I get so annoyed with headphones and the strings bouncing, so I focus on the sound of the machine, my breathing, the number I want to see on the scale, etc.

All my friends think it's so weird, but I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Good luck with your weight loss!!

^^THIS! There's nothing more annoying than wires bouncing about when I want to be running free!

Yup. I dont like the feel of earbuds & the wire gets in my way. Plus I find my music too distracting I find myself singing along. The gym has piped music (which is usually terrible) but it's enought to get me thru.

I love it! There are more of us then I thought but it look's like we are still the minority here. Thanks for all the replies.

I'm a runner and never use music. It messes up my pace. I end up trying to run with the beat of the music. Even if I get appropriate BPM music it still throws me all off.

this happened to me once... trained for a 1/2 mary, i mean i was ready. I was going to run a PR, i was so ready i was like lets run with headphones, i missed my PR by 5mins, One mile i was ahead of pace, next mile i was behind... i blamed it on the music,

anyway, i don't listen to music, i listen to a podcast.
