Whatever I feel like doing at that moment. Usually magazines and books. Movies et all are too slowpaced for me during a workout.

On a treadmill, it depends wether it's my recovery day or not. On recovery days I walk 30minutes @4 km/u, so I can do some browsing and watching series/movies at that time.

I have bought a cheap iPad holder and prop it on my elliptical btw (with tiewraps). So I can click it in place when needed and turn it to landscape/portrait as needed

Ehm.. not scared you're gonna drop the device? Or are you're not running that fast?

I tried using the ipad on the treadmill, but when running @6+ km/h, it really doesn't help my posture when I look slightly downwards.. After a 30-minutes workout, my neck will be strained because of all that bouncing......
