Be ready!

Be prepared!

You will lose valuable time if you are not. 

You need to go to every session with a plan! Wether it be knowing what class you are going to do or what body part you want to train, you can't get psyched up and get your mind ready for a great session!

Here are my big tips/bug bears to a avoid and help you be prepared. 

1. Plan your week - if you are lucky enough to know your week schedule, plan what you are going to do and when. Take photos of group fitness timetables if you have to, or find them online to help you plan. Set up days where you will do certain routines and then, STICK TO EM!

2. Have your MP3 player ready - sounds silly, but even today I saw a man sit down on a machine and slowly unwind his headphones and proceed to get his player ready. Do this before you get in the car and walk into the gym with the music playing. This will help you get in the mood to play hard and stop the delay tactics, BOOM in you walk and you're ready to go!

3. Have your water ready to go - another delay tactic, filling the bottle. Either fill it all the way before you start, or even better, have it filled before you leave for the gym. 

4. Know what you're doing - if you choose not to do a preset class, uses a notebook, iPhone or something to have the exercises laid out for you. Getting to the gym and not knowing what you're supposed to do next is going to waste a lot of time. 

5. Have a backup - on-top of knowing your routine you may need a backup for some exercises. If you think you'll wait till someone else finishes with a machine think again! This is just another time waster, know alternatives for most of your workout incase! 

Get prepped and get ready to smash it every time!
