After reading Patrick's email of how the gym has all these TVs that distract you from focusing on your actual workout, well I am guilty for doing that. I love American football and since I need to mix in different options in place of jump roping, I catch up on the football updates in the 30-45 minutes of fat-burning cardio I do. During the exercise portion of the workouts, I am distracted very little, just focusing on the pain and getting through the exercises. Man, that was a lot of reps today, but it's a really good sense of accomplishment especially if it's done before my work day.
Prior to PCP, I was also one of those gym bunnies who would workout soooo hard at the gym and then feel like I could have an extra slice of pizza for dinner because I worked so hard in the gym that day. Oh how my thought patterns have shifted!
Eh, watching something while jumping rope isn't as big a crime as while doing the muscle stuff. No jail time for you!
ReplyDeleteI like watching something while doing cardio too but for weights I need to concentrate.
ReplyDeleteHehe - gym bunny. Are you still a gym bunny, but now with a better idea of what to do with the gym bod?
