Why We Don't Exercise

Surveys of the American public have revealed a lot of poor excuses for not exercising. Here are the most common:

"No time." Many people think they can't find time in their busy schedules to exercise. Actually, exercise doesn't have to take much time. Think about the amount of time you spend watching TV. It's a matter of priorities.
"Too tired." We all get tired by our work and the normal chores of the day. If you exercise regularly, you will have more energy and feel less tired all the time. You'll have energy for the things you like to do as well as for the things you have to do.
"I get enough exercise." Some people who don't exercise regularly feel they get enough exercise in their daily jobs and routines. But most jobs, including housework, do not provide enough exercise to keep the body fit. More than half of Americans don't make even a small effort to introduce fitness into their lifestyles.

Fitting It In
The KEY: You're more likely to get regular exercise if you can weave it into your personal style for living — and make it enjoyable. For example, exercise to a video routine before your morning shower or take lunchtime walks. Find several fun and easy ways to exercise so you won't view it as one more thing you have to do.
