Which do you prefer while running, your favorite song or your favorite TV show playing?

    TV -- I do a "Walk Slim" DVD, and as long as I'm keeping up with the beat on the DVD, I can enjoy watching my favorite TV show.
    But if I'm at the gym (which is very seldom), I prefer music. It keeps me enthused and pumped up :)

    Where am I running? On a treadmill in the gym, I prefer TV. If out in nature, music.

    It's a pain in the @ss carrying a tv down the street, so music.

    Music. I won't use a treadmill in front of a TV.

    Generally speaking, music, but if I'm using the treadmill in my apts fitness center and there's a Law and Order SVU marathon on, well I'll be on the b!tch all day!

    I'm actually trying REALLY hard not to rely on music during my runs as much. I've started only wearing headphones if I'm running distances and not when I'm doing intervals...trying to "unplug" as much as I can!

    Once, I almost fell off the treadmill because I was jamming to Tupac "California Love" just a little too hard.

    At my gym the cardio machines all have their own individual tvs - so I put on the closed caption so I can watch & read it and then have my music blaring in my headphones.

    When I'm at the gym I always have music playing to keep me motivated. But I watch the tv screens (it's usually Jeopardy by the time I get in there) because staring at the wall gets pretty old pretty fast.

    Mostly music but occasionally I love watching funny stuff (south park, family guy, workaholics) on my phone while on the elliptical or treadmill, I always giggle outloud a bit and feel nuts lol

    Wouldn't it be neat if they had a treadmill with a virtual tv screen where you'd get more of the feeling as if you're walking in a neighborhood? Somehow include the ability to make turns on the treadmill too. That way you could feel a little bit more like you're walking outside, but with the benefits of not having to worry about the weather.

    Though i don't run I'd have to say music as I have alot of heavy metal etc to listen to and I find it very motivating.

    Good stuff, I agree that if I am running outside, gota have my tunes on, but if i am on the treadmill, I like have the TV on while I run. What kind of music do you prefer to listen to? Me, I have to have rock, preferably alternative rock. I prefer to back to the 90's when i listen but I dip into this millenium. Music just isnt the same it used to be!
