I fall into this trap from time to time. I carry out some sets with maximum intensity, and in the process of taking a short break I strike up a discussion with a friend or acquaintance. Within a short time the 'short' discussion becomes an hour long conversation. At the end of the session, I leave the gym feeling distinctly unfulfilled and knowing that I could have achieved much more with the time I spent in the gym that day.
However, I have been able to combat the temptation of socialising during my workout time by following these simple steps.
1. I plan out my workout beforehand and I ensure that I meet every limit set in my workout plan. This prevents me from wasting time
2. Get to the gym very early, before the time wasters start arriving.
3. Cut down on classes if they are not HIIT based. Many classes involve lengthy warm up and cool down sessions which eat into your training time.
4. Get yourself a nice personal music player with your favourite tracks. Once you pop on your headphones, your concentration should be multiplied.
By following these steps, your training time will be maximised and you'll see results much faster than before.
