It has always amazed me how often I hear people making excuses for not exercising. I recognize those excuses because I am the queen of excuse making! Here is a list of all the excuses I can give myself to get out of any task especially exercise:
- I’m tired
- I don’t have time
- It’s too difficult
- I have a pain in my……..
- It’s raining
- It’s too hot
- In a minute
- I have a cold coming on
- I can’t because I don’t know where to start
10. There is lots of time I can do it later
- I’m hungry
12. I’m thirsty
13. Have way too many other things that need my attention before I can even think about exercise
14. I’m not sure if I am doing the exercises correctly
15. I’m not comfortable in the facility
16. I don’t need any more stress in my life
17. I have too much on my plate right now- it’s impossible to include exercise as well
18. I feel too overwhelmed and angry right now that I have to do this
19. Just once or at least for the next few hours can I take a break from my “have to list”!
20.I don’t want to hurt myself
21. I don’t want to look like a fool
22.What if I can’t actually figure it out and someone notices
23.It will cost too much
24.It’s actually not that important to me
25.I just don’t want to do it and I make the decisions for me!
