The Three Excuses People Have When Exercising

By Greg Diener


Let's say you are desiring to go to the gym and exercise in order to lose weight, but you suddenly feel you don't want to go through with it. Chances are you and many people have felt that going to the gym, can be a tremendous strain on you emotionally and physically. Whether it's running on the treadmill or lifting a set of kettlebells, the physical demands can turn people off to the gym. This article provides a common list of excuses people have to avoid working out.

1. I can't workout in front of other people: Many people I've greeted have said that they feel self-conscious working out in front of others. Whether it's the public locker rooms or the fact that the other gym members are in better shape, something about working out in front of others keeps these people from getting in their exercise. Often, these self-proclaimed fitness-center-phobes make a promise to themselves to workout at home only to lounge on the couch and say they'll get to it later. The determination provided from working out, whether it be with friends or guests, can get a person lifting weights with a restored sense of vigor.

2. Working out is a tough challenge: Whether it's being on the treadmill for cardio or lifting heavy weights, it can make you feel bored that you are not getting enough of a challenge. We are always desiring to find a solution to better our performance when we exercise. Ask anybody at your local gym or close friends, what techniques they do in order to stay in tip-top shape. A good answer would be by trying out different movements during your exercises.

3. I'm healthy already: Many people stubbornly hold onto the feeling that they don't need to exercise. Whether they have a fast metabolism, already eat healthily, have good genes, or work a job where they're on their feet - exercise just doesn't seem like a priority. But the specifics is that metabolism slows down and a healthful diet works best alongside a structured fitness routine. Just half an hour of exercise a day can benefit a person's standards of living even if they're already in decent shape. Lifting kettlebells or stepping on the treadmill can even help improve a person's day-to-day mood. Even the healthiest person without exercise could benefit from exercise.

In the long run, the time we spend making up and giving justifications as to why we can't exercise could be better spent actually exercising. The health benefits of a little exercise once a day go a long way. The ideal and insecure excuses that a person can think up are only that - excuses. At the end of the day, step on the treadmill or uncover a set of weights instead of retiring to the couch and your body will say thanks for it.
