No you CAN NOT work in

“No you may NOT work in. There are 3 other stations that are this very same exercise and 10 other ways of doing this very same exercise. Do not hover about as that will not make me move any faster. Go find another station, read a training book and leave me to do my workout in peace.”

Nothing peeves me more then someone interrupting me while I’m jamming on my iPod and in the middle of a set. There are so many people that show up at the gym and can only do a bench press on this bench.

Seriously, when I get to the gym, I like to stay focused to maximize my time. Depending on the gym, there may be lots of distractions. Lots of shiny objects and plenty of squirrels to chase. I live in Los Angeles and have 2 gym memberships. Both are popular gyms, however, one has a much more distracting and entertaining floor show. Focus becomes a necessity.

Having a plan allows to keep you focused on the task at hand. I’ve developed a series of different workouts over the years and have them typed and formatted to print on 4×6 index cards.

Planning and focus are essential to maintaining a good workout program. So have a plan and stick to your plan. You’ll have a much better workout and you’ll see much better results.

The Diet

Now the diet. We’ve cut out the extra carbs, the added sugars most importantly all the goodies; breads, cookies, cakes, rice, pasta. Not really sure what this diet is but I’d guess it is a combination of gluten free, Mediterranean diet. No flour and olive oil.
So far the results have been about 1-2 lbs per week.

I have finally had enough. Time to drop those extra inches and pounds. And after doing 11 long distance cycling events, I’ve decided to do a marathon.

Gym Time

You can always find time to get to the gym. I work too much, I don’t have time, I have other obligations and so on, and so on. These are all excuses. Everyone can find some time to get to the gym or make some time to exercise. Its all about scheduling the time and making a point to get it done.
