Common barriers to maintaining a consistent exercise routine include time constraints, lack of motivation, and limited access to facilities. Busy lifestyles often make it challenging for individuals to prioritize fitness, leading to inconsistent efforts. Additionally, a lack of support or accountability can decrease motivation and hinder progress. Fear of injury or feelings of intimidation in gym environments may also discourage regular exercise. Overcoming these barriers requires creating a structured plan, setting realistic goals, and finding enjoyable activities to foster a sustainable and long-term commitment to fitness.
