Let’s face it, working out is a commitment of both time and money. You may as well get the most out of it! Be sure you are taking full advantage of your time at the gym by remembering the following simple things.
Show up on time.
This is self explanatory, but more important than most people understand.
Be ready to work out.
This seems to be obvious, but I can’t count the number of times I have been tripped up by it or see it trip others up.
Be rested.
Easily the most important item on this list.
Consume the right and enough nutrients.
Extremely important, second only to getting enough rest.
Stick to a schedule.
Commit to a workout schedule and stick to it.
Bring the correct attitude.
Don’t defeat yourself before you even show up.
