I usually watch something while I work out and it helps me workout longer! Any other suggestions ?

I can't watch anything while working out. I get too sidetracked. But I alternate between hip-hop and metal. Gives me a little boost.4 -
Sometimes I have music videos on in the background, but I'm not watching them, maybe in between sets.. or unless I'm doing steady cardio.1

If I tried to watch something, I'd trip.
On the trainer, I would have Hulu or Netflix going. Nothing subtitled, I can't read while trying to hit specific wattages.
On the streets, Ive got an array of mp3s on a SanDisk clip - dnb, metal, classic rock - for running.
Biking, I'll stash my phone in a jersey pocket and usually play my discover weekly Spotify playlist.

Lately I've been listening to old-time radio shows I've downloaded to my phone from archive.org. My favorites are "Have Gun, Will Travel", "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar", "Nick Carter, Master Detective", "The Shadow", and "X Minus One".3

When I hit the street I hit Spotify All out 80s. Yep, gotta take me back to Jr/high school with the tunes. Sometimes I'll get some 90s too.3

Depends on my mood and what I'm doing. Usually it's some form of EDM. I like a good beat to move to.0

I'm big on Hollywood Undead right now. Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed. Anything heavy and angry.4

I can see having music playing while working out.
But if you can watch a show or read, guess what?
You ain't working out.
If you ain't huffing and puffing and sweating, you ain't doing it right.12 -

Nice selection, Okiludy!
I also prefer to get my exercise done while rocking an angry playlist. One of my favorite playlists right now inculdes 5FDP, Avenged Sevenfold, Deftones, In This Moment, and Rage Against the Machine. Sometimes I have to check myself though because I get a little caught up in the music, and moshing in the gym is probably frowned upon1 -

Even those times I’m forced to a treadmill, I don’t use headphones. I like to watch people. They’re interesting when they think no one is watching.
I guess I’m old fashioned as it comes to that. Birds, dogs, wind, car horns.... all part of my run.
This! I’m old fashioned too! I would have missed the bald eagle, last week, perched high.1 -
I fast walked 3 miles and watched friends2

I don't think I could read or watch TV while I'm working out, although I was on an elliptic that stared right at the TV today, so I did read a bit of the CC on the school shooting.
I like an eclectic mix of music, so long as it's mostly uptempo. Usually iTunes on shuffle...today I ran across Rage, Van Morrison, Cage the Elephant, Etta James, the Cars, Howlin' Wolf (surprisingly good workout music), System of a Down, Hendrix...to name a few.
I have always loathed running, but suddenly took to running 45 minutes on the treadmill (usually close to 4 miles) about twice a week. I have yet to run outside; it's too icy here anyhow, but I'm going to be quite self conscience about it, I imagine. But if (when) I do, I wonder if I will want the headphones on, or if I will be like the previous posters who like to listen to the sounds of nature. When I hike, I find music very disruptive; when I go out for a neighborhood walk, I like it.0 -
