What do you do while you execise?

When I'm on the elliptical I love watching How I Met Your Mother on Netflix :-)

iAMsmiling

I have movies on my phone.
My mornings start off with 20 minutes of stair master while watching a movie.

I wish my gym had wi-fi. I would love to watch netflix on cardio days. I get bored so easily.

caffeinified

I usually read on my Kindle. It makes it feel like the time moves along faster.

cdngirl71

While on the treadmill or the bike I watch Netflix, makes the time go by and I am not looking at the time either.

I close my eyes and pray it will be over soon. lol

I just spit my water at the screen :laugh:

I watch TV & listen to music...and try not to die!

I prefer to run outside, and when I do, I listen to music.

When I run on my treadmill, I sometimes watch TV, but I have to line the treadmill up perfectly with the TV, which is mounted on the wall at about eye level while standing. I run between 8-9 minute miles, and can watch TV okay. I can't read while I run though.

At the gym I listen to my ipod. When I am doing the Jillian dvds I listen to her yelling at me..and sometimes I yell back

RhinestoneRocky

I listen to fantastic music and read books on my e-reader.

While on the treadmill, attempting to do C25K, I usually feel as if I'm inches away from death.
However, no matter the workout, cardio or lifting, I have to listen to Rap.

Rap, because they sound so angry & it makes me angry and that makes anything possible for me. That's the only time I listen to rap, lol

Exercise.

I once played Gran Turismo 5 while walking briskly on the treadmill in our home. Eventually I fell off and knocked a big hole in the drywall with my heel.

On the stair climber at the gym I do the standard MP3 player thing while occasionally glancing at whatever nonsense the TVs are tuned to. No falls so far.

Pandora, babe. Ozzy, AC/DC, Metallica. I am 50, after all

While on my LifeFitness elliptical. 60 minutes at max level of 25 plus 10 min cool down (also set to a max). Average calorie loss is 1100 per 70 minute.

Exercise.

Crazy Talk.

EstiloPanama

I listen to my Ipod..sometimes I play Words with Friends if I have the incline and resistance increased by a lot..sometimes I use weights and do arm exercises while on the elliptical. I have a Bosu ball and it's helped me quite a bit with balance : )

IvyWhispers

I like to watch Biggest Loser whilst I'm on my bike, it helps keep me motivated listening to Jillian & the others shouting at people :happy: plus I find it quite inspiring seeing them exercise til they drop too.

I have Jillians workout DVD's :') even though she cant see you she doesn't half make you work :') As soon as you start getting tired she comes out with something else to motivate you :')

danmcgarrigle5

I listen to audiobooks on my ipod... makes the time go fast and I don't have to worry about getting dizzy watching a screen.

I do this, except I use my android

myfitnessval

my workouts are too intense so all i can manage to do is check my HRM once in a while and listen to music. if you can read a book or really focus on a tv show then maybe you need to up the intensity.

snowbell55

I am older almost 58. My goal is to loose 60 lbs by the time I am 60. The week after Christmas I started walking and finally drug my neighbor as well. We are now walking up hills between 3 and 4 miles. I have lost 14 lbs. Gives us a chance to just have some girl talk witch I totally enjoy considering I am the only female in our household.

shaywallis

Pray for strength and endurance.. seriously. My workout was insane today. I didnt think I was going to make it!

slrea2012

I stare at a paint chip on the wall in front of the treadmill. Sometimes I try to heal it with my mind. No luck yet.

HAHAHA...
if I have to run on the treadmill, I stare at the light on the outside of the motor of the garage door opener. I'm running toward the light, so to speak. Otherwise, I do speed intervals and listen to music to kill time.

lease1981

Depends on mood sometimes just music or netflix and music together on a occasion just quiet so i can think:)

MollMoll821

I watch Netflix or Hulu via my iphone. Or listen to podcasts. Sometimes I read and/or listen to music. I've even gotten good at cleaning out and responding to email on the treadmill. But my best distraction is calling my best friend to chat. She doesn't care if I'm panting in her ear!

Cullinanmarti

Read on my IPad or chat with my friends during the break between half hour sessions. Or listen to my IPod.".....

JoLEnEo6

when I run, I listen to loud music. when I CrossFit, I focus on the exercise. netflix is a good idea, I think I might try that the next time Im on the treadmill.

MyChocolateDiet

mostly divulge way too much information to my new exercise buddies who are school mom's. hope none of my hijinks end up discussed at the PTA.

Oh wow, I never considered that! Thanks for the idea. :drinker:

erickita89

I usually listen to music and jump to it and mouth it silently while on the elliptical. (walk to the beat if on a treadmill.)
