The gym can be a distracting place to work out, and it's easy for your mind to wander from the task at hand when you're chugging away on a cardio machine. This is one reason I like to print my interval routines before heading to the gym — it forces me to stay alert and I get a better workout. However, one thing has become clear: Placing my flimsy paper on the machine's minishelf just doesn't cut it.
Your movement causes vibrations in the machine, which can result in your printout falling to the floor. Rather than risk interrupting a killer workout, consider taping your sheet to something sturdy to eliminate the chances of this happening. Attach the sheet to the back of your iPod if you use one, affix it to your water bottle, or tape it to your magazine. Problem solved!

I have mine on cardstock!! stands up fine
1I use post-it notes...works great!
2Good tip, I can't remember how many times I've had my plan fly off in the breeze from the gazillion fans at my gym. So annoying. How did I not think of this before?
3bad for the environment...
4Index cards work great!
5Great idea!
6I put mine in a small notebook. Stays just fine, plus I can decide on the spot which I want to do, since they are all in the notebook.
7If I follow something I tend to have the tv control(s) or my drink holding it up. When I use my drink I pull the paper up or sideways until I see the whole workout. Could probably tape it to the wall, but I will probably forget about it or it would be awkward to look at.
I have a treadmill at home.
8That's a really good idea! I write out my workout routines on index cards a lot and I hate it when they shift and fall off the machines!
