The gym helps me practice the discipline of staying focused despite distraction

I feel like a new person having showered and washed hair after a decent early workout: arms, back, shoulders and abs got it today. It’s so funny, I go to a gym to focus on my body, and they have a dozen tvs lining one wall and pop music blaring from the speakers.  It’s like they want to distract me from the fact that I’m working out! I want to ENGAGE my muscles and bones, I want to COMMUNE with the connective tissue and all the cells of my body as I am working them. So, going to the gym becomes a yoga as well, practicing my discipline of staying focused despite cacophony and chaos.
