For a long time, I've heard people talk about how good they feel after working out and I just couldn't follow that but since I've started doing the above plus using the stretching thingy the gym has, I see what they mean!

Books on your ipod! It makes it sooomuch better! I highly recommend a light, easy title- romance novel or something. Something where you don't really have to concentrate but are entertained. The only bad thing is when it makes me laugh and I almost fall off the trainer, lol.
Also, music works for me. Get some club music on your ipod that makes you want to dance and then channel it.
These are the only things that work for me on the elliptical- when I tried watching tv it took too much concentration away from my workout and my intensity was nil. Doing it with no audio was not an option.
Right now I leave for work at 6:30/7 and get home at 10, so working out isn't really in the cards (I try for an active lunch hour and walk about a mile or two to the train station instead of getting on outside of my office to compensate), but those are things that have saved me in the past.
