5Challenges
that Prevent
Exercise
@HabitsGuy
& How to Overcome Them
We all have challenges that hold us back from
exercising.
The trick is to take time to identify your specific challenge and think of ways to overcome it.
Let’s cover five of the most common and suggest a few
possible solutions.
1 Not Enough
Time
Challenge
You barely have enough time for the important things, so exercise often seems like “something else” you have to do.
Start small. If you’re not exercising at all, make the decision to get extra
movement throughout the day.
The Solution!
If you do activities that don’t require special clothing or cause you to sweat, you may not have
to change your clothes or shower.
The Solution!
2 No Support
from Family
Challenge
It’s hard to do something alone—especially when those around you don’t understand why you do it.
If your family doesn’t support you, get help elsewhere. Join online
forums or Facebook or LinkedIn groups devoted to exercise.
The Solution!
If your budget permits, you can hire a personal trainer
who will hold you accountable and keep you motivated.
The Solution!
3Extreme
Weather
Conditions
Challenge
Where you live sometimes makes a big difference when it comes to exercising consistently.
Joining a climate-controlled
gym is a great option if you are worried about the weather.
The Solution!
If finances are a concern, finding exercises to do inside your
home using basic equipment or exercise DVDs may work for you.
The Solution!
4 Physical
Limitations
Challenge
Not everyone is in top shape. This may be especially true if you haven’t exercised lately or are overweight or have some type of injury or handicap.
Acknowledge your limitations and find a way
to work around them.
The Solution!
1. Talk to a doctor about your issue and see what he suggests as a good
form of exercise. 2. Ease into this new habit.
3. If you have injuries, find exercises that won’t exacerbate them.
The Solution!
5 That Oh-So-
Awkward Feeling
Challenge
Joining a gym may be an uncomfortable experience. Some may feel self-conscious while exercising.
If you’re female and feel uncomfortable going to a gym
where men are present, try joining a women’s-only gym.
The Solution!
Or join one with a mixed group of members who are simply there to
maintain a healthy lifestyle.
