Within this online community, participants engage in candid discussions about the prevalent excuses they employ to evade their gym sessions.

1. Epileptic Seizures

Living with a medical condition like epilepsy is challenging. And the fear of having a seizure while physically active may discourage the patient from exercising regularly.

2. Physically Demanding Job

Exercise seems daunting if someone’s job nature demands too much physical activity that pushes their limits.

3. No Fun Without a Workout Buddy

It's more fun if you have somebody to run/exercise with, but I don’t, so it's very hard to motivate myself to do something I don’t enjoy.” This is why an accountability partner is so beneficial.

4. Chronic Procrastination

It’s rightfully said that “Tomorrow never comes.” Many users believe that the biggest hurdle in their exercise routine is procrastination. The top-voted comment said, “I will start exercising tomorrow.”

5. Lack of Motivation

Someone said, “ I have the desire to, but no motivation to do it. Even when I get motivated enough to start the routine, it only lasts a few weeks, maximum.” Sometimes, replacing motivation with discipline that turns into a habit works wonders.

Staying committed to a consistent workout schedule can prove to be a challenge for numerous reasons, including busy schedules and fluctuating motivation.
