Barriers to Exercise

Barriers to exercise are obstacles that prevent individuals from engaging in physical activity. Common barriers include lack of time due to busy schedules, limited access to facilities or safe environments, financial constraints, and physical limitations or health issues. Psychological factors, such as a lack of motivation, fear of injury, or low self-esteem, can also play a significant role. Social influences, like the absence of supportive friends or family, may discourage exercise. Understanding these barriers can help individuals find solutions and create a more active lifestyle.
