Ditch the gadgets and get more from your workout

 Time and time again I am asked how can I make my workout so much better, not be bored, and get more out of my training.

Well the answer is simple...... Focus on YOU
A lot of people struggle because they are easily distracted by gadgets like phones,  electronic devices,  and even other people.  Valuable time is lost from the warm up phase right through to the cool down of a good workout.   I have seen so many people constantly break the rhythm of their workout by answering or making calls, and texts resulting in fiddling and fumbling with all kinds of electronic devices and raised stress levels when the workout could be so much more productive in every single component of the training cycle.

Remember your training regime is for you! for no one else, use this time to focus on yourself. We all work hard enough in this world and it is essential to take the time no matter how long it is, 15 minutes or an hour, for yourself.

Aren't you worth it?
Can't the outside world wait for just that small amount of time? 

A good focus on your training no matter how long you want to train for and a focus on what you really want from your session really helps before you start your warm up.  Go into your session with a plan, you don't have to do the same laborious exercises day in and day out, give yourself one or two aims from your session and really focus on them.

Ditching the gadgets and all interruptions will keep your heart rate up and your mind focused and you into a zone where you should be so that you burn so many more calories !  Now that is what I call a really great incentive.  
Whats the point of wasting time at the gym if you don't use that time effectively. 

Not only that,  a concentrated mind, a really clear head without any intrusions, enables you to really engage with the equipment you are using and adopt the correct technique (provided you have been coached correctly).  Again this focus will allow an extra calorie burn, and a much deeper muscular effect.  Focus on technique, not how many kg's you can lift. Carried out correctly you will not only see an increase in strength but a great cardiovascular response and in turn an increase in stamina. 

Being distracted by all electronic devices will most definitely affect your workout,  potentially raising stress levels to a degree that negates the good work you have put in.  Remember whether it is 30 minutes,  or an hour's training it should be fun and enjoyable looking after your health.   Make every minute count and you will find that you are so much closer to your training objectives and gaining those fantastic positive results you have been looking for.   

This in turn should serve to motivate you even more because you can see the benefits and feel a new you.

Remember if you need help putting the focus back into your training regime with a new specifically tailored plan, or perhaps need that added bit of motivation with a private or group training session , I am here to support you every step of the way. Give me a call to see what you can achieve!
