One of the most important tips to remember when in the gym is that you are not there to socialize. When you enter the gym, you are going to work. If you aren’t careful it is very easy to get side-tracked and lose your focus. The natural tendency is for your mind to wander and begin thinking about things other than working out.
Your body wants to forget about your weight training workout at all costs. It is perceived as a threat, and as something that should be avoided. This is why it is absolutely crucial to maintain 100% focus throughout the entire workout, especially as you reach the 30-minute mark and beyond, as mental focus and intensity begin to radically decrease. You must always remember your purpose in the gym.
