Common motivational barriers to exercise include lack of time, low energy, and feelings of intimidation or self-doubt. Many individuals may struggle to find an enjoyable workout routine or might feel overwhelmed by their fitness goals. Additionally, external factors such as a lack of support or resources can hinder motivation. To overcome these barriers, individuals can set realistic goals, establish a consistent schedule, and seek social support from friends or fitness groups to enhance accountability and sustain motivation over the long term.
