Psyching yourself out of exercise: How to prevent barriers from taking over your health.

gym
Here are some barriers I have had and ways to overcome them.

Top 5 excuses:

  • “I’m too tired to exercise.”

    It’s 5 PM after a long day after work or it’s 7 AM, I want to sleep in a little more because I’ll be tired.

  • “I’m too busy and I don’t have time for exercise.”

    Exercise simply takes too long.

  • “I have a bad back, knee, etc.”

    I can’t stress my body out more or I’ll be injured again.

  • “I just don’t like to exercise.”

    It’s no fun.
