Ever been on the receiving end of a sassy stare from a gym bunny on the elliptical or a hulking glare from a dude at the weight bench? You probably broke one of the gym’s unwritten rules.

To avoid disrupting other people’s workouts, stay off the cell during sweat time.

Do It Today: Be respectful of others’ time and put the phone — and yourself — on silent mode during a cardio session.
