10 of the Top Reason why you don’t exercise

 
  1. You really hate to exercise – very common, but don't think of it as exercise. Re-frame your current conditioning for a more positive view and consider the benefits, you don’t hate yourself do you?
 
  1. You’ve tried to exercise but you keep quitting – “A winner never quits and a quitter never wins” or “When the going gets tough the tough buckle down,” "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels"
 ,
  1. You can’t afford a gym membership – then do it in the comfort of your own home and quit thinking about as exercising and insert perceptions like finding some physical activity, and moreover, something fun and active.
 
  1. You’re not seeing any changes in your body – forget the scale and reap what you sow though the psychological conduit. Know that by advancing your physical fitness that you are promoting a healthier lifestyle.
 
  1. You don’t know how to exercise – then call a local a trainer, get some videos, walk, or ask around.
 
  1. You want to exercise but you have to take care of your family – how do you plan on taking care of your family if you don’t take care of yourself? Could you involve the family, become an active family? that's the trick!
 
  1. You can’t seem to stay motivated to continue working out – you continue to live? And wouldn’t you love to life long enough to play hard with your great grandchildren?
 
  1. Exercise Hurts – If it were easy then everybody would be in great shape and live to be 100? You will recover, I promise.
 
  1. You can’t make the commitment to stick to an exercise routine – start easy, set achievable and realistic goals, know that what you are doing today will benefit you years down the line. Get with an accountability partner, make the commitment to your children?
 
  1. You don’t have time – ah, the most common rationalization I here! 1st Things 1st----you are never going to find some extra time lying around? You have to MAKE TIME, it is not going to suddenly appear. If you make it a priority then you will surely fit it in somewhere, somehow, and sometime.
