Nearly 85% of the population is not engaging in meaningful and regular exercise. If this describes you, you are not alone – in fact, you are in the majority! Conventional exercise guidelines have failed for most people. Why can’t people seem to follow traditional exercise guidelines? Well, there are some good reasons for that, and a solution to overcome these obstacles. Below are the top five reasons why people can’t begin or stick with the average fitness program and why those barriers don’t exist at The Exercise Coach.
- The top five reasons that people don’t start or stick with exercising begin with not having enough time. 42% of people say they don’t have enough time.
- The next biggest reason is a lack of motivation. A lack of motivation is understandable when you consider why someone would want to pursue the traditional exercise path that hasn’t given them the results they want.
- The third biggest reason is that some people just don’t like exercise. For many clients of The Exercise Coach, this belief is often flipped on its head as people achieve results and transform their bodies.
- The fourth biggest reason is work getting in the way. Committing to multiple hours a week to a fitness program can be daunting, which is why The Exercise Coach approach is so revolutionary.
- The fifth most common reason for people avoiding exercise is that they feel too old. 41 is the average that most Americans feel too old to exercise. Some people even believe that they need to get in shape before working out.
The irony of not feeling like you belong in an exercise facility is that the older you get the more important exercise and strength training becomes for your longevity. 63% of people believe that their habit of not exercising enough will shorten their lifespan. People know they need to exercise and by not doing anything, they are adding to their stress and shame.
Almost everyone can identify with one of those barriers, even if you enjoy exercise, you can probably see people in your life that fall into those categories. Fitness hasn’t done much to remove those barriers over the past five decades, but The Exercise Coach is working to make fitness available to everybody.
The data and tracking that The Exercise Coach provides to its clients is crucial to their success. Seeing progress is a huge component of maintaining motivation. Not seeing results fast enough can be very demotivating and this prevents people from sticking with an exercise program. This is why having a guide and coach to help you reach those results is so important.
Meeting people where they are is the core of The Exercise Coach, and without that first step, they may never make fitness a part of their life. Learn what’s holding you back from making strength training a regular part of your life and why The Exercise Coach paradigm may be right for you no matter how old you are or what fitness level you bring to the table.
