Podcasts or music are not essential to my gym experience, but they are important. My pace on the treadmill certainly suffers if I forgot my headphones.

A few weeks ago some "commedian" decided he needed to get my attention (pause playback, turn off noice cancelling, "yes?") twice for idiotidic jokes like "When are you going to be done with that machine, because there aren't any others: gestures to empty gym with only He and I".

He did pay me an appreciated comment during one of those interruptions, but overall his behavior was grating and made the session worse than average.

I haven't yet found a combination activity where I still feel like I'm getting sufficient exercise. I think combination activities work better for many people and you gotta find a way that exercise works for you, or you really won't get enough.

Gross. The biggest unwritten rule of going to the gym is you never initiate with someone wearing headphones unless it's truly an emergency.

But yeah, everyone is different, so finding an activity that works for you is super important. For me, it's crossing off other things on my list while doing an activity I dislike (e.g. I listen to podcasts and books while doing yardwork, fixing my car, commuting, exercising, etc).
