I Don’t Have Time

The most common excuse in the list of workout excuses is the lack of time. Many people say that they do not get time to go to the gym. According to them, they are so busy that they can’t take out time for their health!

Suggested Solution – Whenever you give this excuse, ask yourself that who would get the maximum benefit of going to the gym or by following a workout schedule? Naturally, it’s only YOU who would be at the maximum advantage! So can’t you take out time for your sake? Sure you can!

We want to Start from that ‘Special’ Day!

This is another typical gym excuse. We want to get into exercising, but we keep on waiting for the right day and the right moment. Sometimes, we say that we want to start on Sunday, or sometimes we want to start exercising with the commencement of the new month. However, the truth is that Special Day never arrives until we want it to!

Suggested Solution – There is no specific day to join a gym or to begin the workout. On the contrary, you can get an ordinary day special by deciding firmly to follow a regular exercise schedule. The sooner, the better! Just make up your mind for the workout and start doing it as soon as possible.

I have a Date

Again, a dumb reason for not exercising but it is a common one! You say that you have a date, and that’s the reason you have to skip your gym session!

Suggested Solution – Why don’t you go on a date at some other time that does not disturb your gym routine? Moreover, also, remember that if you keep on missing your gym sessions with this only excuse, then it might also create a bad impression on your dating partner.

I don’t Like this Weather

Sometimes we do not like hot weather, and sometimes we hate winters. Sometimes, it’s rain that stops us from working out and sometimes, it’s snowfall that creates hurdles in our exercise! You do not want to work out because you do not like the weather, and that’s another perfect exercise excuse!

Suggested Solution – Please try to think logically that how can snowfall, rain, heat or cold can stop you from your fitness routine? Do you stop eating because you do not like a particular weather? Of course, no! So how can you compromise on your gym session because of the weather outside? Think logically and try to change your attitude!

I Might Hurt Myself if I Start Exercising Now

So you think that you are not well to begin an exercise routine. You feel very inferior or weak whenever you think about going to the gym. You even believe that if you force yourself for a workout, you might hurt yourself!
