What prevents you from doing exercise?

What are the factors as to why don’t you exercise?

• Depression and a lack of motivation associated with that.

• Fitting it in to my daily routine can sometimes make exercise difficult. I am at my best around midday so try and do my exercise then. If the weather is horrible I won’t exercise outside.

• My brain struggles to switch off to exercise... I keep thinking of the work I should be doing. 

•  Childcare limitations; injury; having the time.

• Lack of motivation and lack of energy.

• Not having anyone to go with, would rather not go alone.

• 1-If the weather is particularly bad I won’t take the dogs out for a walk.

• Time, feeling tired, people to train with, lack of motivation.

What prevents you from doing exercise

What do you dislike about doing exercise/ activities? 

•  Nothing nowadays. I used to feel very self-conscious,which was a reason not to go to a gym.

• Being depressed was a factor in not having the motivation or energy to exercise; however, finding something I enjoy and initially having someone to go with to encourage me was really important and helpful.

• I don’t like doing too much of the same thing as I get bored. This is the reason I do running, walking and karate. It gives me some variety. I change running routes and training plans, for example may do hill training one day, 5k another day, fartlek another day.

• I struggle with time out specifically for the gym as my brain won’t switch off to what needs to be completed at work; I suppose that boils down to, rightly or wrongly, me feeling my time could be spent better doing other things.

• Monetary cost.

• If it’s cold or wet outside it’s not as enjoyable!

• The hassle of changing, going to gym, showering, etc. Sometimes the cost.
