Content: So with everyone becoming so busy, are modern work pressures also getting in the way of a fit and healthy life? According to the results, the answer is yes. When asked about excuses they have used to justify skipping a workout, nearly one in four said they’ve employed “stayed too late at work” as an excuse, while a further 36 percent said having too much work to do was a reason they’ve skipped a workout before. Topping the list with 56 percent was being “too tired” to work out. The survey results were revealed at a panel held in New York City as part of the Freeletics Dare to be Free campaign, which is the brand’s largest-ever global marketing campaign. However, according to the results, it seems many Americans will use any old excuse to get out of a workout. For example, nearly a third of Americans have skipped a workout because the weather is too bad, and another one in 10 have skipped a workout because the weather is too nice. One in four (23 percent) have used eating too much to get out of a planned workout, and another 15 percent said they’d rather watch Netflix. A lot of common excuses come down to convenience — still a big issue when it comes to exercise, and, according to the results, only 29 percent of Americans consider working out to be convenient. Exercising can be tough to fit into a busy schedule, especially when the average American only has 89 minutes of free time a day, according to the survey results.
