Working out with Bowflex adjustable dumbbells while watching TV is really the best way to workout. I think that if you ever talk to anyone who has tried this method out, then they will probably tell you the exact something. I think that watching this show really helps because it is a rather intense show and therefore gets your adrenaline pumping. If you do not want watch TV while working out because you think that the TV show will distract you from your workout, then you can try listening to music. I think that it depends on who you are and that different people have different things that help motivate them into working out. The only way to know for sure is to take your dumbbells and workout once with music and another time while watching TV and see which helps motivate you better.
