      I'm a straight up work out kind of girl, I don't like any distractions from the task at hand. I'm there to give it my all :wink:

      Listen to music and sometimes I stare blankly at the TV that's playing at the gym.

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

      Same :)

      Depends on what I am doing. If I am walking with my BFF we talk... if I am by myself podcasts... but I listen to podcasts all day everyday. Music gets boring.

      I multitask enough at my 12 hours a day job. I'm all for focusing on my workout when I'm working out and nothing else.

      I had no idea you know everyone so well. You should be sorry. It's not nice to make assumptions about people. I had no idea so many people couldn't exercise with the TV on!

      I apologized....What more do you want from me?

      I think about sex the entire time. This should not shock anyone.

      I have heard the right exercise bike at the right intensity can help you do more than just think about it :love:

      Talk to the husband (we go run/walk together in the evenings) and try not to trip over the dog who becomes retarded as soon as a leash clicks onto her collar. Occasionally pants said husband to listen to him say "Knock it off, the neighbors are outside!" :P

      Cardio - I absolutely watch TV / Sportcenter and I need to in order to get through it.

      Weights - Music need to focus 100%

      While lifting, it's got to be metal; \m/ 80's and 90's mostly. While doing cardio (elliptical or recumbent bike) I watch TV or DVD's.

      My workouts can be interrupted at anytime cause I have little kids so I try to get it done quick. When I hop on my elliptical, I don't use any entertainment. It's torture to watch the clock but I get a better calorie burn if I focus on the speed and intervals.

      Someday, I would like to get and Iphone and headphones for when I head to the gym.

      It totally depends on the workout:
      Strength training: I am usually with a partner, so we are talking, mostly about the workout but also other things
      Walking with a friend: Listening/Talking
      Walking alone: Watching TV or listening to music
      Water Aerobics: Music is on in the background, sometimes I'm also talking to friends but paying attention to the instructor
      Yoga: Listening to instructor/paying attention to breathing/sometimes meditating if in corpse pose or similar
      Wii Boxing/Tennis/etc. I am fully engaged, nothing else
      Turbo Jam: Listening to the music and paying attention to the instructor
      Dancing: I am obviously listening to the music; occasionally I am also singing because I log band practice and performance as dancing as I am moving to the music as long as we're playing.

      I find it difficult to read while working out unless it's easy and quick, like a magazine, but that is rare.

      Fot me I love watching netflix on my iphone and read my kindle while working out. it passes time and I work out more! how about you guys?

      Listen to music mostly. When I'm well bored I will tell myself "5 more songs" and try my best to just enjoy the music.
      I do like to read while just walking on a treadmill but i haven't done this at my new gym - used to have a gym at my old apartment.

      Sometimes I have music on and I just zone out on a machine thinking about whatever: groceries, cats, people's hair styles I see at the gym....

      Phone Netflix seems like a great idea. I should see if I can get that to work on my stupid phone.

      Kind of a stupid question IMO (sorry!). When I work out that's what I'm there to do-WORK OUT. I always listen to my iPod to get in the "zone", but other than that, I like to keep my focus on what I'm there to do!

      I... work out? When I work out...

      The most I'll do on top of that is listen to music?

      I was hoping for an iPod for Christmas but money is too tight. So I simply walk and take in my surroundings. Once it gets colder, I plan on walking at the mall. So some window shopping.

      Is this a trick question?

      I think "slim-fit-flexible-strong" plus a lot of other things.

      This is what I do:
      Weight Lifting: people watch and talk a little bit with my trainer while lifting weights
      Cardio machines: listen to my iPod
      Group classes: listen to the music and the instructor
