One thing that I don't understand is slacking off during a workout. Don't get me wrong, I'm not always into my run. Sometimes it takes everything I have to get through my run, but if I've made it to the gym, then I'm finishing my run.
At the gym this evening there was a woman on the treadmill next to me who spent more time standing on the edges of the treadmill than she did walking on it. She stopped to get a sip of water, to use a towel to pat her perspiration dry, to adjust her speed or her incline. I just don't see the point.
Find a song, a quote, a person to motivate you to get through your workout. Listen to that song over and over and over until you finish, or you get a second (or first) wind to push through!
Miles logged: 3.5
I'm always surprised by these types at my gym. The other ones that get me are those that crank up the incline to 15%, set the speed at 4 and then hang on to the machine for dear life and think they're burning massive amounts of calories...
ReplyDeleteSaw one yesterday doing the same thing! I was afraid that she would fly off the back if she let go for a second!
