Jeff, who attends our High-Performance Sales Program, highlighted the thought that to get the best out of our physical workouts we need to be mentally prepared and on point every time we enter the gym.
No kidding, right? Duh. I promise this is going somewhere.
But what Jeff did was asked each of us to SLOW DOWN and focus on one area of each exercise the next time we come in. Focus on head position, think about each muscle group we are using and remember that sled sprints are SPRINTS not jogs.
Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in completing an exercise, both in the gym and out, that we forget to take note of the important pieces of each exercise.
How can you translate the exercise of slowing down into your everyday life? Our business lives and personal lives demand us to be mentally "in the game" all the time but this can be difficult, especially this time of year.
New students to our trainings want to jump into everything they learn right away. While we are always happy to hear this, we need to remind them to SLOW DOWN and work on becoming confident in small changes before tackling large ones.
Here are a few suggestions on where to SLOW DOWN:
Let us know how you plan to stay mentally focused and get more done by slowing down.
