Podcasts. Or do hard enough cardio (Zwift training) that you can’t do anything

Music. I can't say I'm doing super intense / long cardio at the moment though.

Don't need it. Just sprint 2-3 times a week, lift and stay active.

Podcasts exclusively. Same for house chores. And wood working. And gardening.
