One of the problems with exercise is that, like with dieting, people start out with overly ambitious plans that are difficult to maintain. The majority of people fail to follow through with these plans because they lose interest or find them boring or too difficult to integrate into their daily routines. For those who are out of shape, the thought of going to a gym may be intimidating. It is a fact of the gym industry that a large proportion of people who take out gym memberships end up not using them—this is one of the reasons that so many gyms require that you pay for a year in advance!
