A study in the American Psychological Association's Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology is very good news for people who simply don't find the time or have the inclination to go to a gym to exercise. They found there are many reasons why people don't start exercise programs.
Time is usually the number one reason.
Traveling to a gym does take time and is often inconvenient. Some people are also afraid they may appear to be foolish in front of others. The most important reason is that there is no motivation to start an exercise program. Being lazy is so much easier If people only realized the benefits they would derive from devoting 15 minutes daily to an exercise program they could do at home, they would not hesitate another day. A study at the University of Florida found that women who exercised at home lost about 25 pounds on average in about 15 months.
