These are the types of exercise people avoid doing in public
The ongoing impact of COVID-19 is putting people’s workout routines in a spin, with eight in 10 Americans admitting they’ve had more reasons for not working out since the start of the pandemic, according to new research.
A new study of 2,000 adults found that for 61%, pandemic-related restrictions at local gyms, such as mask requirements, made working out less comfortable. Another 53% reported gym closings and the same amount said they’ve gotten used to a more sedentary lifestyle.
Overall, 67% tend to put off exercise, with millennials the most likely to do so (73%).
Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Les Mills ahead of National Fitness Day, results also looked into the reasons that 48% have felt deterred from reaching their fitness goals.
Some people cited concerns of being stuck with a membership if they don’t like a gym (42%), being too embarrassed to ask the staff for assistance (36%) and comparing themselves to fitness influencers or bloggers (36%).
