Actually, next time, why not try focusing on the pain? I do this sometimes when I run. Instead of trying to ignore the pain, really focus on it, and sense what it is about it that’s discomforting, and when you realize that it’s not going to harm you in any significant way, it kind of loses its power over you and you sort of accept it and keep going.

I think it depends on your goals. If what you want is achieve better movement, you’d better turn off that TV.

But if you just want to burn fat, well I’m not sure that focusing on it would change anything.

Proprioception is a nice thing to exercise, though.

Focus on your breathing. Correct breathing takes effort but pays dividend in endurance.
