I play madden football 2012 football while I work out.
How do you squeeze in a workout while fiercely involved in that test of skill and manliness?0 -
Very easy, concentrate on Football and I don't even know I am working out. I started doing this about 40 days ago and it is working out well for me. I have very good physical skills........0

I curse like a sailor and threaten my exercises with death.0
-
I watch HGTV and the Discovery channel! Always sucks me right in.0
-
Read my Kindle!0
-
i read! and sometimes check my work email giving others the illusion of productivity...0
-
I daydream about how great I'm going to look lol
and I repeat to myself "I can do anything for 10 minutes" when I'm struggling to get through the next 10 minutes of my exercise tape...

curse and swear at Jillian MIchaels If Im working out with her..
or watch movies on my ipod if on the treadmill0 -
I play madden football 2012 football on ps3 while I work out.
But I have to swing my arms when I'm on the treadmill, and it's impossible to play games while lifting anything, or boxing. Unless I'm doing EA Sports Active 2.0, in which case, it's not really a game..0 -
If I'm running, usually turn on a movie or watch a show I missed online...or turn on the tv--some kind of visual distraction that'll suck me into the drama. If I'm lifting--usually cursing Jillian Michael's out in my head (I INFINITELY LOATHE strength training, but know it's a necessary means to my goal weight end, hence why I do JM videos cause it's the only way I'll stick to a regular strength training program).0

I prop my tablet up on my exercise bike... cover up the feedback screen..... ledge is PERFECT for it and the fan is positioned in just the right place to not be blocked by it........ and then I either read, flip through the news.... watch netflix, catch up on shows... you name it. Makes time pass SOOOOO much more quickly, and it's almost a treat to have that time to myself!!!0

i like to crank up the music when i am running, or i watch tv. when i am doing dvd's i play with my dogs while i workout. they are always trying to help me with my push-ups and sit-ups!!0

LOL. My brother-in-law used to play Guitar Hero while on the treadmill.
As for me, if I'm on the treadmill, I watch TV. If I'm walking / jogging outside, I do math problems in my head.0 -
I constantly tell myself and my spotter how incredibly weak I am.0
-
i play the violin while Im running 7mph pace on the treadmill. lol. nah jk-- nothing interesting with me.. just a man and his thoughts.0
-
Today, I did 88min of working out, and didn't even realise it. I do use my arms, on defense, all the time. I use an elipitcal, i get shin splints on treadmills.0
-
Depends on what exercise I'm doing. If I'm running I do nothing but run, it is my time to clear my head and NOT think. I usually read or watch tv if I'm using a machine at the gym.0
-
Lip-synch to music blaring on my zune and daydream about... well.. everything.0
-
While doing Zumba I am cursing and saying mean things to Beto and his little friends and their perfect abs and then to myself "If I keep working out like this I will have abs like all of them one day!!" And then when I do my calisthenics for 20 min I watch tv0
-
Not sure if this is "interesting" or not... but I make faces at myself in the mirror at the gym while I'm strength training... keeps me amused, makes me work harder, and I think it keeps anyone from standing too close to me or stealing my weights :-)
When I ride my bike trainer at home, I watch movies...0 -
Depends. Days when I'm doing mundane workouts like wall squats, I read National Geographic. Running, I dance and lip sync in empty areas in the park. And everything else, I swear. A lot.0
-
I imagine I'm a stripper and I'm giving my best performance each time..I come out sweaty but in my head I had many a men make it ran in all hundreds.. other times I think about what I need to do when I get home or my future..0
-
Audio books on my Kindle Fire...great when walking/hiking.0
-
I push the world down.. not much else to do when you're blood related to Chuck Norris and shoot up heroin for breakfast...

I blade my music with headphones in and watch the food channel on silent...its like torture though because when I go, Paula is usually on...:( but its like a test, to see if I can figure out what she's making and what ingredients she's using without the sound!!:)0
-
I usually read trashy vampire novels on my Nook...
This evening, I watched three episodes of "Big Bang Theory" while walking.0 -
Pretty much nothing except sweat and mentally curse trying to get more reps out. Will listen to tunes on the treadmill--when hiking, it's just me and nature...too chicken to listen to tunes then...live in cougar country. :ohwell:0
-
Soooo I just realized when my workout partner is doing her sets, I breathe along with her as if I am doing it instead of her ! HA! I pointed it out to her and told her I was a freak. She never noticed because we bother wear our IPODS.0

Does mentally snickering at the pretty boys in the gym do cable machine exercising while posing and watching themselves in the mirror count as interesting? That's about as good as it gets, I'm afraid...0
