    My program that I am currently working out to has been do 1 minute of intense cardio between each set. I look weird but I don't care, girls got to get fit!!!

    close my eyes and just focus on my breath, stretch a little bit

    sometimes I'll just watch all the strong dudes in my gym do their crazy strong liftin' thing (and get mad jealous)
  • I change songs lol

    I wait until I get into the upper level of my zone one on my fitness watch. That's just enough time to take a drink of water and catch my breath and wipe the sweat off my face. I could care less about what anyone thinks of me at the gym. I'm there on a mission, to kick my *kitten* hard!!!
  • Breathe like an idiot and drink water. Adjust my hair or wipe my face. Reposition my body or just glance around the gym. Mostly just drinking water though. It's the best way for me to get myself ready for the next set. I don't wait a full sixty seconds between sets though, probably more like 20-30.

    I set my timer and rest.
    Sometimes just keep myself moving a bit, but mainly rest.

    Supersets = no time to kill. Heart rate up, finished sooner.

    Catch my breath and try to get my heart rate back close to normal. My inter-set rests can be as little as the time it takes to swap plates around to 90 seconds if I'm doing maximal squat sets.

    Stretch, drink, covert other peoples muscles or gym outfit.
    Mostly just feel impressed with myself that I got off the sofa!
