We can all come up with numerous excuses for not working out but for some people, it comes down to false beliefs that they may hold about themselves. When it comes to getting into shape there are tons of myths out there that many people hold on to and it keeps them from becoming healthier.
I Don't Have Good Genes - While genetics does play a part in the type of physique you can develop, it is a poor excuse for not attempting to get into shape. You may not make the cover of a fitness magazine, but you will still feel and look good.
I Have to Join a Gym - This is a common excuse for putting off fitness which is absolutely false. Gyms have never been necessary for getting into shape. You know that you can start anytime, even in the smallest of spaces.
I'm Too Old - Fitness knows no age limits so don't put one on yourself by using your age as an excuse. Check out the 81 Year Old Marathoner.
I'm Not Athletic - You do not need to be an athlete to get into shape. I was never good at sports growing up and I'm not today for that matter, but I don't need an athletic background to run or lift weights.
I'm Too Overweight - Nobody's excess weight is a lost cause even in cases of extreme obesity. With the right guidance, exercise can be performed even if it is something simple.
I'm Already Thin - Being at your ideal weight is great but it doesn't mean you are in shape. Can you run a block without being winded? Do you lack energy? Thin and in shape are two different things. Exercise will benefit anyone regardless of current body size.
Don't let false fitness beliefs hold you back.

A fine post. My excuse is that I get bored while I work out. My mind needs to be entertained or I lose interest or focus too hard on how much exercise I am doing.
I find that doing something that I enjoy that also involves exercise is the way to go for me. If I am playing a game then my mind doesn’t keep track of the hard parts and my mind is kept active by the game itself.
great tips!
There should never be an excuse for not working out! Just a stroll can do you good! And with so many fitness products and shoes with special technologies on the market today there’s never been a better time to get fit!
