    It takes my mind off of what I'm doing and it helps make the time fly by.

  • Helps! I'd have liked something when I was swim training. That black line fever gets a bit much.

    No, I find it unpleasant to wear any sort of music device while exercising and wearing earphones is highly disorienting.

    I'll play songs in my head from memory, but that's a different thing.

  • I don't mind the ear phones but I've certainly done the mental thing, too.

    I'm very accustomed to using sound to detect and track things in my nearby environment. If I'm sitting in an easy chair, that's not important and I don't mind wearing earphones. If I'm out in public where keeping track of traffic (both vehicular and pedestrian) is vital, I find the lack of audio input upsets me.

    cant exercise without it....makes the time move and you can use it as a timer..like if your having a problem staying on the treadmill/stepper/elliptical or whatever you can force yourself to make it thru the song...the next day make it thru 2 songs etc..youll be up to 45 minutes to an hour quick.
