I usually work out at a health club early in the morning every day before going to the office.
And, at that time of day, there are not a lot of people there, so you get to notice the "regulars" who show up there.
There is one guy who's there all of the time who is addicted to his cell phone.
I watched him this morning for several minutes, and here is what he did:
Sat on a workout bench, staring at his cell phone for 30 seconds, scrolling with his thumb
Did one set of lat pulldowns
