Anyone I’ve talked to recently will no doubt giggle reading this, I’ve been telling anyone who will listen.
My rule at the gym is the only thing I can do on my phone is update my workout tracker via Google Sheets and listen to music or a podcast.
That’s it.
No texting, no messaging, no email, no social media, no checking stats on the latest video I post…
Instead, between sets (once I’ve inputted the reps) I just sit there. I personally have trouble releasing my tummy and breath during workouts so I use it as an opportunity to do that.
Once I made this choice, I couldn’t believe how much time people spent on their phones. To me, it looks like they’re not even at the gym. If you’re there, be there for goodness sake.
Give it a go for a week or so. Feel the burn of boredom and then feel the promised land of the monk.
