This 30-Day Mindfulness Plan Will Help You Feel Calmer and More Present in Just 1 Month

If you tend to daydream during your workouts — or think about everything you need to do once you're finished — try instead focusing your attention on the muscles that are essential to each exercise. "For example, feel your abs during crunches or your glutes when doing squats," Atluri said. Not only will this teach you to be more mindful, but it will also help you keep those muscles engaged, making your workout more effective.
