Stalling Tactics: Ingenious, sometimes amazingly creative thinking, a well thought out premeditated plan, and at times engaging others into your strategy of delay. What are they and how to expose them? Simple! They put you out of the loop during your workout.
Consider this: You are in the core of your workout. Your heart beat is elevated, muscles warm, and you are in rhythm. Then you stop! You take an extended break. You run to get your towel or water you left 30 feet away (premeditated) and slowly walk back. You say hi to some buddies or you start talking to your trainer (small-talk) and by the time you get going again, three minutes have passed. You heart beat is at 60%, muscles are relaxed and a bit tighter, your thought process has drifted, and you are out of the loop of repetition. In short, most of the gains you have achieved so far have now been lost.
Stalling instead of moving ahead and staying focused to use your fitness program for its advantage is one of the most negative things you can do. If you have a serious and strong goal then your attitude should match. Don't give it all you can 80% of the time. Once you back off even for a minute your body has to reset and start over. This small event might seem insignificant to you but its impact is more powerful than you can imagine.
Remember: The Principle of Adaptation. When the body repeats itself in a regular and consistent pattern, it not only learns and develops an easier and smoother movement it also manages your breathing and energy patterns for the highest gain. Through uninterrupted adaptation improvements are quicker, smoother and bigger and better.

Wow. I sure feel guilty. I had no idea stalling was such a serious infraction. What if my shoe really does need tying? Or what if the phone really rings again? Well, I will just have to face the music (or the TV if it ever gets hooked up).
