I see a lot of people talking about what to do in between workouts, but haven't come across a question about this yet. What do you do between your sets? I find it kind of difficult to just stand around for 60 seconds waiting to do my next set. I started doing calf raises in this time. Any other suggestions?

    Record my reps/weights in MFP on my phone, get a drink, pace, look around, smile at people....

    Stretch a little, catch my breath, set up my next equipment, mentally prepare myself for the next exercise if it's lunges or step ups because I hate them...lol.

    Catch my breath lol. Wipe off the sweat, adjust earbubs. Get more equipment. Drink water and write down my sets and reps.

    I work out at home and use my phone as a timer for the 60 seconds. I actually go on FB on my phone in between sets :P haha. I'll walk/pace while doing it though. Other times I'll have a sip of water or write down my progress.
