Sounds fantastic. I get a bit bored doing cardio, but I've been sitting on the exercise bike for about twenty minutes and using that time to read ebooks on my phone (or if Its an audio book, continue listening to whatever book I've been up to).
The time drags on sooooo slowly when doing cardio, I get so freakin' bored.
music, music, mucic...the only way I can do cardio, simply can't stand the boredom without music, some rousing rebel songs do the trick nicely :-)
Music definitely helps, but my thoughts are always of the wondering type. I enjoy the weight lifting side of things way too much. :D
I do mental arithmetic or attempt to recall passages that I have read recently.
I see tons of people playing solitare or sudoku on the cardio machine touch screens.
