When it comes time to exercise, do you always have an excuse not to? You're not alone! Experts at the American Council on Exercise wanted to know why two out of three Americans aren't active on a regular basis, and why one in four get practically no exercise at all! So they asked 1,500 people about their workout excuses. Do any of these sound familiar?

• I don't have the time.
  
• I'm too out of shape.
  
• I don't know what to do — and am afraid to ask.
  
• The gym is too crowded.
  
• It's too hot/cold/wet.
  
• It's not convenient.
  
• I don't have the right equipment.
