    Depends my day and how hard and focused I am. On days I'm fairly focused and want to get in a really good work out or push myself farther, I listen to music. On other days where I just want to get through it, I turn on Netflix on my phone. If I had room for an elliptical in my apartment, I would make sure I was on that EVERY time I watch TV.

    I think about surviving my workout and pushing through. My protein shake I'll get afterward LOL.

    That's how I feel about the sauna, too.

    THINK! I love the peacefulness of a good walk/run; some of my best ideas come to me while I'm exercising!!

    This.

    I also love it when I see people on the elliptical with their coffee and phone, barely moving....

    I think about the street life hell I was raised in and the friends, I lost along the way... It gives me the strength I need to go that extra mile...

    Zumba. Nothing but zumba. If you can think your not doing it right

    Swimming. Watch the clock and practice trying to swim under water.

    Walking. Spend time with my dog or talking to my new workout friend.

    Weights- I just lift. No music, no distractions.

    Running- I either listen to my ipod (if Im outside), watch music videos (If Im on the dreadmill) or gossip with my running buddy (if I have one)

    Fot me I love watching netflix on my iphone and read my kindle while working out. it passes time and I work out more! how about you guys?

    IMHO if you can watch TV while working out you aren't doing it right.

    Not true. I watch Netflix while on the elliptical. There isn't much to think about when using the machine. I don't understand why people say this.

    Rock out to my tunes.
    Or watch the crappy TV's. For some reason they only play the W Network or the Food Network though. The last channels I'd want to be watching while working out
    If I'm on the bikes, I'll play Word Mole on my phone...acting like an idiot and loudly cheering when I score something huge. Because I'm a dork.

    And all of that is on a good day if I'm not having to respond to a bunch of work emails :grumble:

    Always have ear buds on. Sometimes music, sometimes not. This way no one talks to me. Focus.

    yes true. What is your heart rate? If it's below 150 turn up the resistance or go faster.....If it's above 150 you wont feel like watching TV. Do Some HIIT.....In the load phases it's all you can do to get through it.
