listening to notes while working out (1 Viewer)

[autumn-angel]

yeah so i'm health conscious.. and tend to get bored while working out..some people listen to music,some watch tv.. so i thought why not record my notes and listen to them on my ipod? has anyone ever tried it? is it a good idea?

I can't say I've tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't be a good idea. It'd be especially good for reinforcement, after you've learnt the content. I'm planning on using a dictaphone, so let us know how it goes!

i can't stand the sound of my own voice, nor do i exercise often, so it would never work for me

I have tried this. It took way to long to record just one topic from PDHPE, and I found that it didn't reinforce anything much. If I wasn't paying attention, then I'd miss things (which should have made me concentratre harder, but it didn't)

But, if you're doing a language, I really suggest putting some listening examples on your iPod/MP3.

I take my history notes and read them while I'm on the bike at the gym.
It's not exactly the same but I think it helps anyway. I assume recording notes would be just as good.

I recorded my complete Business Studies Syllabus with my own voice and I didn't use this to study to.

however every night for about 6 months I put it on repeat as I fell asleep (I'm a heavy sleeper, and therefore doesn't effect my ability to fall asleep).

after about 2 weeks, whenever I woke up, all I could think about was the business studies syllabus...

Now I remember it off by heart .

Whatever works for you

I'm sorry to revive this very old thread, but after consulting with my inner self, I felt that it was necessary for the benefit of mankind.

So does anyone do this?

You should just do I thing at a time, otherwise you won't get anything done properly (at least for me that's true). I suck at multi-tasking. :angry:

i recorded my business studies syllabus as well for my half-yearlies
i only listened to it for 1 night but it did wonders

it's a really good trick, highly recommended
i wouldn't record myself with large chunks of notes though
maybe just keywords that will make you remember information, nothing more
