    If it's weightlifting, I need to concentrate on the form. In all exercises though, I just pay attention to my body and try to tune everything else out. Otherwise my mind would wander all over the map, and that's distracting from the goal.

    My thinking goes back and forth with several topics of thought. The music in my ears, my family, work, to do lists, form, count, time, etc.

    I'm usually wondering if this is the rep that I'm going to finally just drop on my head

    I'm thinking stuff like OMG I couldn't walk up these stairs without almost hyperventilating and now I run up and down them over and over like the Tazmanian Devil. Then I think "should I slow down? dear lord please don't let my knees give out and I faceplant".

    I am highly educated and very cerebral, so it is difficult to turn my brain off. However, when I am doing yoga and strength exercises, I do find I need to concentrate on what I am doing. If I start letting my mind wander too much, that's when I lose my balance, or lift improperly and injure myself. Now, when I am doing cardio, running, biking, etc. I think about all sorts of things. Sometimes, I get some great ideas while getting the aerobic exercise. My art, , relationships, politics, science, sex, it's all fair game then.

    I thought this might be a joke after that first sentence. Seriously? lol

    When the random times come up that I do some cardio...I think about anything from what kind of dishwasher soap I need to buy to unicorns.

    When I'm lifting...I try to focus on form...and any close by cute boys. ok ok I'm kidding about the form...

    Doing Jillian Micheals Body Revolution- I think "She is trying to kill me!" When I walk I usually just kinda work out any stress I may be feeling and try to come up with creative solutions.

    On good days my mind kinda goes blank & I think of nothing. On bad days when stresses are prevalent all of the above :)

    I typically think about everything that I need to do after working out. I typically make a grocery list while doing cardio and other random stuff like that
