My husband listens to his ipod. We used to have a television/vcr down there, but that's been in the shop and anyway, the motor's too loud. He tried listening to Japanese language instruction for a while, but that didn't work out for him.
I don't use the treadmill myself because I hate it. And because it's actually actively detrimental for my knee problems but mostly because I hate it.
I read while on the exercise cycle and let my mind wander while I'm on the rowing machine (sometimes whilst listening to nature tapes of water or ocean sounds), and then go blank doing tai chi. (it is surprising difficult to let the mind go blank but concentrating on movement does slow said movement down and helps to put one 'in the moment').

Good luck with your exercise. And your writing.
