Learn how to counter excuses for not exercising

Preppers want their bodies to be ready to respond well to potential emergencies in the future. Exercise is the way to prepare their bodies for these challenges. This article discusses specific excuses that people often give for not exercising. Following each specific excuse will be the specific answer to invalidate the excuse and to recapture the motivation to exercise.

“I don’t have enough time to exercise.” Actually, research has shown that people can benefit from as little as 20 minutes of exercise a day. In the long run, exercise will improve the health of the person exercising, and thus, exercise actually can save time that otherwise would be spent on trips to the doctor, to a sick bed, or to the hospital.

“Exercise is boring.” There are many ways to vary a workout routine to keep it from becoming boring. Also, exercise companions can help to keep each other excited about their exercise routines. A stressed out introvert, on the other hand, might find that a solitary jogging or walking session is the change of pace that he needs.

“I’m too ashamed of my body to exercise around other people.” People always have the option to exercise alone in a home gym. People also can go to a commercial gym during the off hours when not many people are at the gym.

“The weather outside is too hot/cold/rainy/snowy.” On bad weather days, people can exercise inside at their home gym, and thus they will avoid having to exercise outside or to drive to and from their commercial gym in the bad weather.

“I can’t afford a gym membership or the cost of exercise equipment at home.” People can buy many pieces of exercise equipment very cheaply at thrift stores such as the Salvation Army. The only cost that the exercise of walking involves is the cost of a pair of comfortable shoes.
