Why Don't We Exercise? 8 Reasons People Skip Workouts

There are several reasons why many people do not exercise these days. Firstly, our modern lifestyle and technology have made it easier for people to be sedentary, with many jobs requiring sitting for long periods of time. Additionally, people may have busy schedules or other priorities that take up their time, making it difficult to fit in regular exercise. Some people may also lack motivation or feel intimidated by exercise, especially if they are starting from a place of poor physical fitness. The cost of gym memberships or equipment can also be a barrier for some. Finally, societal norms and expectations around body image and weight can create feelings of shame or inadequacy, discouraging people from engaging in physical activity.
