I cannot listen to audiobooks either. I do have playlists that I use for various activities.

I prefer outdoor activities to workouts. I would find a treadmill unbearably boring. I like to ride horses, walk, and ride my one speed cruiser. The closest thing I do to a workout is movement based (Alexander Technique). I am stretching, balancing, concentrating on feeling, movement, visualizing my anatomy and breathing. So music doesn't really suit my kind of workout. The only exercise equipment I use are therapy bands and occasionally I use a balance ball for centering.

I have playlists that with music organized by BPM. This encourages me to listen to music at the same speed I'm exercising. My music choices range from 40's big band to current Christian.

I have an MP3 player, it's tiny. I wear it when working outside on a house or running in a park. It's got music with a beat. Flash Dance type music. ie: Before He Cheats, Charmed Life, Love Runs Out, Single Ladies

I watch movies if I'm on a treadmill "or" TV.

Blues and rock while cycling outside/exercising inside. There is actually controversy related to wearing earphones/listening to music while cycling, the naysayers say that one cannot hear cars coming etc. while listening. But my hearing is poor so I would not hear them anyway.

I don't work out....but I "work out"....I work outside. I was outside until noon yesterday, and getting ready to repeat that in a few minutes. I listen to talk radio from 8 to 2, Monday thru Friday. Right now I am listening on I-Heart on my phone, but it never fails, if there is something I am really interested in, there are a couple of spots on this place that I loose connection, so I recently ordered a little Sony pocket radio, which is how I used to listen, but wore it out. After those programs are over for the day, I usually listen to podcasts until 5 and then from 5 to 7, back to talk radio because one comes on twice a day.

On weekends, I listen to pod casts. I have also listened to various things on youtube....yep, even cooking shows, so you are not alone in that.

I never listen to music when i run or walk outside. Too dangerous, IMO, as you can’t hear approaching vehicles or animals. Plus I would rather enjoy nature.

I don’t care for the ‘dreadmill’ but have to use it occasionally due to the weather. I do listen to my playlist, which is ever changing and growing. Or lately I will listen a Podcast. I can’t focus on an audiobook enough to enjoy one.
