    When I'm outdoors on the bike, I just ride (no music or other entertainment).

    When I'm on the trainer, I have:
    - the computrainer with all of my data
    - a DVD playing with closed captioning on
    - music on the iPod

    Listen to music while doing weights and watch anime while doing cardio. ^_^

    My gym (Planet Fitness) has several TVs mounted and you can hook your headphones up to your machine to pick which one to listen to. During the week if I can get there by 5:00 or so I give in my guilty pleasure and watch Dr. Phil while I run. It is a nice distraction when I'm doing like 40 minutes of straight running.

    Listen to loud music and lift heavy stuff.

    When I do cardio on the treadmill I can't stand the TV being on, I always turn it to a channel that doesn't come in right so the screen is black. It drives me nuts to watch tv while I run.

    same here....I have my iphone playing music while I'm at the gym but that's mainly so people won't talk to me (LOL Sorry but I'm there to work out not meet people) I zone out while I'm working out and don't even listen to what's playing

    strength training- nothing
    bootcamp and circuit classes- glare at the instructor ;-)
    running- music
    elliptical- netflix (HATE the elliptical so I need to distract myself) (or any cardio machine really)

    I read "War & Peace" in between sets.

    The entire book.

    And no, you can't "work in."

    But you're hogging the good girl/bad girl machine and that's the one I need to use.

    IMHO if you can watch TV while working out you aren't doing it right.

    I echo the 'work out' motion. If you can read a book you're not pushing hard enough :D

    I usually do as well but I'm not actually performing the music so I don't consider it something I'm doing. I didn't bring my guitar and am cranking out blues riffs while I'm doing deadlifts or anything. I just have some Pantera or Mastodon going to help me get the bar where it needs to be.

    I think about reaching my ultimate fitness goal and pushing through my workout. I listen to music and I'm a people watcher too.

    I've never been able to read while working out, but then again, they aren't keen on me bringing Hustler into the gym. :grumble:

    A couple of months ago I actually even quit listening to music while I run.
