Those New Year's resolutions fading, now is the time of the year when many of us abandon our exercise programs. There are lots of reasons why people give up. Boredom, discouragement over a perceived lack of results, such as a dramatic drop in weight, and difficulty incorporating a fitness regime into a busy lifestyle. Finally, some people discover no matter how hard they try to make fitness fun, they just hate exercise.
Exercise takes time.
It makes you sweaty and smelly. If you workout at a gym, you have to be near other people who are sweaty and smelly. The lineups for the equipment are annoying and so are the people grunting in the weight room. Don't forget how boring it can be to ride a stationary bike for half an hour. If you get your exercise outside, there's always the foul weather to deal with.
