Question

Is it okay to run on the treadmill & play playstation 3 video games & listen to loud music at the same time?

Answer 1

It better to run without distarctions like music or video games to get best resutls you should run without them and outside a treadmill slows you down you dont get full results its not as good as running outside just take away the distractions

Answer 2

only if your a cyborg

Answer 3

Depends on why you are running.  Studies have shown that people work harder with a partner or with music.  The PS3 is a little worrisome because that can cause a misstep if you stop paying attention.

If you are training for a team or sport, I would focus on the training.  If this is for fun or for fitness and having the additional distractions help you get through the workout, then I say, as long as you are not putting yourself in a position to get hurt, then enjoy!

One more thing is that I would only recommend this to someone that has proper form.  If you do not have proper form, you should not have any distractions until this is fixed.  If I have a treadmill workout, I will usually have the TV and music on, but I also know I have proper technique and review this often as part of my job (I am a strength and conditioning coach for athletes and fitness clients).
