“Unmasking Gym Etiquette: 7 Shocking Habits You Didn’t Know Were Ruining Your Workout!”

“You chose to be there, pay attention to what you are doing and count reps, not minutes,” said Cohen. “You can also try singing along, it will make the time fly.” Remember not to sing too loud.
Keep The Focus On Yourself
