Exercise: What’S Holding You Back?

Are you struggling to get active? Here are some ways to work on overcoming those exercise barriers.

Problem:I haven’t exercised in a long time.

Solution:Start simple. Try walking for a few minutes. Slowly increase the time and intensity of your walk or other exercise.

Problem:I don’t have enough time.

Solution:Even 10 minutes of exercise is better than none. Find short breaks in your day to dance or walk.

Problem:It’s expensive.

Solution:You don’t need to spend money. You only need a comfortable pair of shoes to start walking. Or, exercise in your home with a smartphone app or video from the library.
