One of the things people ask me when they workout with me is why I close my eyes when I’m doing certain exercises. The simple answer is because I can concentrate better. Of course there are certain exercises that you can’t and shouldn’t close your eyes on- like some free weight exercises. You need to see the bar/weight to keep the proper alignment and balance, but even then you may actually help your balance if you are comfortable enough with the movement and can close your eyes.
But for most machines it definitely helps to shut out the distractions once you have the proper form down. So, I never close my eyes when I’m doing squats, but I do when I’m on most leg machines. Give it a try, but start with exercises that you “can do with your eyes closed”. No pun intended.
