“To make your workout seem like it’s going faster, count down versus count up. For example, when doing lat pull downs, instead of starting your reps from 1 and counting up to 10, start the count from 10 and go to 0. When doing a 20 minute run on the treadmill count down from 20 minutes til you get to 0. “You’re done!”
Counting down psychologically makes your body feel like it’s going down hill which is much easier to do than going uphill, like counting up. Time just feels like it goes faster when counting down versus counting up.”
