    I want to watch sitcoms or something light while on the elliptical. Something to distract me slightly from the time but not focus my attention on. I have to keep track of my intervals for HIIT. Afraid a movie would take too much of my attention. Reba is great!

    Hubby, on the other hand, loves to watch movies. Once he starts one on his laptop, he only allows himself to watch it while on the elliptical. He says it makes him get back on the next day so he can finish his movie! :wink:

    Most of my workouts are outside (running, or working out on the deck), so I watch whatever crosses my line of sight...I guess.

    Movies with a lot of exploding and gun fire action... it makes me feel dangerous, well okay maybe not dangerous but it makes me feel a lot more motivated for some reason. Like it's a viagra for exercise.

    FOOD NETWORK. :P

    It's the only channel worth watching on TV anymore, in my opinion. And the TV in front of my treadmill doesn't have a DVD player for movies either. Boo!

    Ok, I'm not sure if this is narcissistic or not (probably is) but if I'm not running outside, I just listen to music, turn off the tv screen they have on the machines at my gym and look at my face. Partly bc I wanna make sure my shoulders are relaxed, chin not lifted, etc.... But also bc when I feel like p*ssing out, I'm looking at the person I'm doing all this for. Sorry for the novel.

    WOW!! This is exactly what I do too!!

    Whenever I find myself droning away on a cardio machine at the gym and without my ipod, it's usually the Big Bang Theory that's on. I like to watch funny shows that make me LOL so I can be that creepy chick at the gym laughing to herself.

    Whatevers on the tube, but preferably something engaging so I'm not actually thinking so much about working out. If I think about it I tend to defeat myself.
    There's a Mentalist marathon on, that should be good stuff.

    I so agree I even time my time at the gym to watch my favorite shows if possible
