What is your top excuse for not exercising? The weather? A busy job? A busy family life? According to not-for-profit organisation UK Active, instead of exercising, 59% of the UK are spending more than 10 hours a week watching TV and 64% of adults spend more than 10 hours browsing the internet.

The top five exercise excuses have been identified as:

  1. I don’t have time
  2. I don’t find exercise fun
  3. I can’t afford a gym membership
  4. I don’t enjoy working out in public places
  5. I’ve not got enough space at home.
