There are a few excuses that can hold you back from starting a healthy lifestyle:
- Excuse # 1 - I can't afford it because I have limited budget. No problem. You will not spend any penny if you will take a walk or hike in the park, do gardening, swim in the river or lake, dance, play beach volleyball, tennis or soccer, practice yoga or Pilates at home, etc.
- Excuse # 2 - I don't have a friend or partner to accompany me. It is understandable, especially if you need a partner or a few of them for a sport game. Join Meetup.com, community or club groups. There are many like-minded people who share your interests and activities.
- Excuse # 3 - I don't have time. There is nothing more important than wellbeing. Find time to take care of your health.
