We have talked about resting in workouts before and reality is we all need to stop and rest sometimes. It is how we rest that will affect our workout. There are many ways of getting through a workout with planned rest like breaking sets up or giving yourself a set time per round. But what are you doing during your rest?
Here are some things to consider when you are resting.
- If you break during a set, stay where you are. Don’t walk away from the equipment you are using as it will take too long walking back to the equipment to continue your set
- Control your breathing to gather yourself before continuing
- Always have intent to get back to your workout fast, don’t lose focus
- Give yourself short countdowns to stay on track
- When moving between exercises prepare yourself for the next exercise while you get there and get straight to work. Don’t walk over first and then get yourself ready.
- Ask yourself should you go faster, slower or stay the same.
- focus on staying efficient and use good technique, don’t worry about how hard it is and how tired you are.
Use these cues to help you get through the workout and we promise you things will feel a lot better and you will feel a lot more in control during your workouts.
