Fasting

I just read in Prevention Magazine that "Mormons' superior heart health may stem from their traditional practice of fasting one day each month." Dr. Donald Lloyd Jones said, "If you have fasted for at least 12 hours, your liver handles a fatty meal much more efficiently-with less insulin and less elevation of blood pressure."
It's amazing to me how something that I've just thought of as a spiritual blessing (fasting and growing closer to the Lord) also gives us temporal blessings as well. Very cool.

Reading on the Workout

I love to read while I pound through the miles on the treadmill. Reading is the only way I can handle treadmill running, the stairmaster, or the elliptical for any extended length of time.
My favorite material is the LDS Conference talks in the Ensign. The talks are so intriguing and uplifting I lose track of time.
What about you? What keeps you entertained during a workout?
