When you get lost in your head while exercising...

Ramberta

Where do you go?

For me, because I like to walk/run to movie soundtracks (such as the Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the Rings-- yep, nerd alert), I like to imagine that I'm on an epic quest, that I have an urgent message to deliver to someone very important in a castle far far away. Or something.

What's in your head when you zone out while exercising?

I usually think about whatever problem I'm having, if I'm having one. If not, I daydream about the house I want to buy and what I'll do with the yard, and how I'll be living when I'm closer to the beach.

Oh my god I thought I was the only one that did that.

I'M COMMANDER SHEPARD AND I'M SAVING THE GALAXY, DON'T JUDGE ME. :bigsmile:

I usually listen to metal so my mind set gets fierce and i zone out and feel like im getting ready to start an intense battle. I used to box years ago and find myself coming out of it while im mock punching the air lol

"Keep going. Only 2 miles to go. I need to stop. No I dont, I've done this before. Nah, I hate this. Just do it and get it done. **** this ****. I can do it. No I ****ing can't ..." And on and on for the whole 30ish minutes.

When I lift, music going, feeling strong....I think about who i would bite/not bite in the gym.

I imagine myself paratrooping a lot. I don't know why. Also envision myself in a dance club shakin' it. Now that makes a little more sense.... ha ha!

Yup :happy: And I make up stories in my head to go with the music I am listening to.

I think about absolutely nothing and I love it!!
My mind races all day and night, I have a hard time sleeping because of it. The only time I find that I am not thinking is when I am working out, my brain just shuts off and it's such a great feeling.

Sadly I'm thinking/stressing over all the ish I have to get done once I'm finished with my workout.....oh and how to out do my workout from the day before (like jogging a little longer/faster/etc.)

Theatre music- I'm a complete theatre nerd so I imagine myself performing on stage.

I do that ALL the time too. "Only 20 more minutes...maybe I'll stop early today...No i can't....17 more minutes"

That's great! I've been unable to find a way to totally clear my brain except with marijuana but working out does de-stress wonderfully, and it helps me sleep better too.

I do that constantly for about the first mile or so, then I get into the swing of it and start enjoying it but I think everyone does this to some extent, haha!

I run from Zombies. Literally. I load up the "Run! Zombie!" app and try to avoid becoming a snack.
