This is exactly how I lift weights / exercise, with complete focus and mindfulness.
While working out it is all I think about. I put on headphones with fast, heavy music and focus on the exercise I'm doing at that moment. I don't think about email in my inbox, I don't think about the errands I need to run, I don't talk to the other people around me. I think about my muscles contracting. I think about the extra 5 lbs I just added to the bar. I think about my form. I think about my breathing.
It is meditation as much as sitting on a pillow with legs crossed and eyes closed.
