stick a pixar/ dreamworks movie on my phone, slow jog and watch it all the way through.
brave burns about 800 calories, the incredibles around 900 etc - usually takes about an hour and a half0 -
Planet Fitness has like 20 tvs so I just park it in front of what I want to watch and go in! I also have my music playing on my MP30

I do 80 minutes on my treadmill 3 times a week. I love watching DVD's. Most of them end up lasting close to that amount of time. It certainly makes the time fly by. :happy:0

I'm with you, I put Netflix on my iPad. I try to pick a TV series - that way the portion I see during my workout is long enough to keep me interested but every other day or so I finish an episode so I feel like I'm accomplishing something! I just finished Sherlock and right now I'm going through Supernatural.0

I watch the hotties do their deadlifts? :blushing:
But seriously, I just do 15 minutes once in a while and music / TV does the trick0 -

I'm not gonna lie me too :bigsmile: I guess I'm a creeper! Lol! If I'm walking sometimes I can read my kindle but usually just music or watch TV!0 -
I've been planning to throw some shows on my phone to watch, since the TV in the fitness room in my building is suuuuper quiet.0

I despise the treadmill and the elliptical. I much prefer to run outside and for me, it is possible. That does mean I run in the rain, cold weather, and sometimes freezing rain and snow and I run before daylight a lot. If I'm not running, I much prefer classes like Zumba, Kickboxing, Kettlebells, and Strength Training.0

ohhhhh the dreadmill....i'd be at home sooooo, loud dance music, dance music videos, Seinfeld dvds...or any comedy i have. I'll also watch any new workout videos i buy, just to get an idea of what's involved....plus the music is usually upbeat and fast.0

At the gym they have little TVs on each treadmill. They only get 5 crappy stations though, so I usually bring my Ipod.0
