Mind Focused Cardio - YouTube and Apps!

Over the past several years, I have tried different things to keep my mind focused while doing cardio in the gym.  At first, I tried reading magazines and books.  It worked for a little bit, but I felt my intensity wasn't as high as it could be.  The faster or more intense I went, I'd only look at pictures, skim the articles or just get dizzy.

Music always helps too, but I feel like I stare off into space and then eventually just count the time on the cardio machine.  I much prefer keeping my music for my lifting sessions.  (Exception - running)

Lately I've been watching YouTube during my sweat sessions.  The possibilities are completely endless.  I love tennis, gymnastics and fitness, so I watch the Olympics and other competitions.  Or I'll watch personal YouTube channels about these topics.  If I feel like learning while sweating, I'll watch a video that will help me in my business.

Another thing I've been doing lately is downloading TV channel apps to my phone and watching recent episodes.  I LOVE the Amazing Race...and did you know that the Price is Right is available on the CBS app?  So cool!  The downside is commercials, but I typically use that time to change up the workout and do some sprinting or something else different.

Enjoy!
