Summary

“Everyone is going to judge me there.” “I don’t have the time.” “It’s too expensive.”

Have you said or thought these things when you are debating on if you should start going to the gym? We have a response:

It doesn't take a ton of time. It doesn’t cost too much money. There aren’t people that are completely different from you waiting to be mean to you, in fact, gym people are some of the most welcoming communities you will ever meet.

The reality is- as a society when it comes to wellness and health care we have made tremendous strides in addressing acute illness, but have taken steps backwards with long term health or even preventative health. Getting in vigorous activity actually decreases mortality by up to 31%, and that includes the health issues that come with it. So how do we have more tools to improve our long term health than ever- but not yet improved? Tune into today’s episode to hear our top 5 “reasons” that people aren’t making it into the gym, and what you can do about them.
