    How do you squeeze in a workout while fiercely involved in that test of skill and manliness? ;)

    Very easy, concentrate on Football and I don't even know I am working out. I started doing this about 40 days ago and it is working out well for me. I have very good physical skills........

    I daydream about how great I'm going to look lol
    and I repeat to myself "I can do anything for 10 minutes" when I'm struggling to get through the next 10 minutes of my exercise tape...

    :tongue:

    What are you actually doing? Clearly nothing with your arms, hey? When I get under 250 I can then use my wife's stationary bike and play my PS3. Can't wait! :D

    But I have to swing my arms when I'm on the treadmill, and it's impossible to play games while lifting anything, or boxing. Unless I'm doing EA Sports Active 2.0, in which case, it's not really a game..

    If I'm running, usually turn on a movie or watch a show I missed online...or turn on the tv--some kind of visual distraction that'll suck me into the drama. If I'm lifting--usually cursing Jillian Michael's out in my head (I INFINITELY LOATHE strength training, but know it's a necessary means to my goal weight end, hence why I do JM videos cause it's the only way I'll stick to a regular strength training program).

    I prop my tablet up on my exercise bike... cover up the feedback screen..... ledge is PERFECT for it and the fan is positioned in just the right place to not be blocked by it........ and then I either read, flip through the news.... watch netflix, catch up on shows... you name it. Makes time pass SOOOOO much more quickly, and it's almost a treat to have that time to myself!!!

    LOL. My brother-in-law used to play Guitar Hero while on the treadmill.

    As for me, if I'm on the treadmill, I watch TV. If I'm walking / jogging outside, I do math problems in my head.

    Today, I did 88min of working out, and didn't even realise it. I do use my arms, on defense, all the time. I use an elipitcal, i get shin splints on treadmills.

    Depends on what exercise I'm doing. If I'm running I do nothing but run, it is my time to clear my head and NOT think. I usually read or watch tv if I'm using a machine at the gym.

    While doing Zumba I am cursing and saying mean things to Beto and his little friends and their perfect abs and then to myself "If I keep working out like this I will have abs like all of them one day!!" And then when I do my calisthenics for 20 min I watch tv :)

    Not sure if this is "interesting" or not... but I make faces at myself in the mirror at the gym while I'm strength training... keeps me amused, makes me work harder, and I think it keeps anyone from standing too close to me or stealing my weights :-)

    When I ride my bike trainer at home, I watch movies...
