Strategies: Throw Away The Watch









As Lance Armstrong said, "it's not about the bike." And as much as it looks great to have the right gear, it's definitely not about the watch. Arm-candy.

In an unscientific survey or earnest runners and bikers, less than 10% said they utilize the heart-rate, lap, or myriad of other function on their fitness watch. In fact, most said that their watch can become an unnecessary distraction: elapsed time giving them a sense of premature accomplishment.

Same holds true for the treadmill or elliptical readout. Stare at the clock counting up (or down), and you're likely to focus only on "when is this over."

Abandon the watch and get lost in your ideas, problem-solving, or day-dreaming. You'll go further and faster.
