It’s crucial to keep in mind that any time management, including controlling how long you spend at the gym, how long your commute is, or how much time you spend in meetings at work, will directly affect the other activities on your calendar.
KNOW YOUR WAY AROUND THE GYM
Even if you’ve been frequenting the same gym for a while (or years), you might not know where everything is. Take this as the first step towards reclaiming your time.
Ask a staff member to give you a thorough tour of the gym so you’ll know where the cardio and weight machines, free weights, and other workout equipment are located. Refresh your memory of where the workout rooms are located inside the gym.
After all, is said and done, you’ll waste less time searching the gym for what you require.
LEARN HOW TO PROPERLY USE EQUIPMENT
Using gym equipment incorrectly might significantly slow down your workout. Sure, with enough trial and error, you might finally be able to figure out how to adjust the seat for that bicep curl machine, but if you just ask for help, you’ll gain that much more information and save yourself time and aggravation.
Ask a member of the gym staff to show you how to operate and use the equipment when you find one. Likewise, make sure to sign up for any equipment orientation classes at fitness center offers to its patrons. You’ll be happy that you did.
PLAN YOUR WORKOUTS AHEAD OF TIME
What kind of exercise plan do you have today? Cardio? Weights? Fitness class? Have not the slightest idea? If so, you might want to think about scheduling your exercises in advance. You’ll be able to plan exactly the workouts and equipment you’ll utilize each day. Your calendar will continue to work smoothly as a result of this.
A fitness app on your smartphone may be used to schedule your workouts at the start or finish of each week. Alternatively, you may schedule your workouts the old-fashioned way using a pen and paper.
