What’s your excuse for not exercising? We all know it’s good for us. Yet many busy just are not as active as they’d like to be. Here at fitblendr, we want to help – because we’re in the same boat. We also would like to exercise more and get fit. And yes – we probably have the same excuses as you. Here are the top 5 exercise excuses we’ve heard (because we’ve uttered them ourselves) and how fitblendr can help you get active.
“I don’t have time to exercise”
Many busy people often claim that they don’t have enough time to exercise. Balancing work, family, and other commitments can indeed be challenging. In fact when it comes to exercise excuses this tops the list.
fitblendr is flexible, and works on your time.
With fitblendr, you can create your own workout blend that is just 5 minutes long, meaning you can get a short burst of cardio, strength training, and more in a fraction of the time of traditional apps. And the process to create a workout blend is quick too. Just select a few options and that’s it.
We’re also exploring many other ways to make exercise quick. Even quick and short bursts of physical activity does make a difference. And you’ll feel more energized after (spoiler alert for the next one!)
“I’m too tired to exercise”
Exhaustion from a busy schedule can make exercise seem unappealing. You are simply going at full speed most of the day. It may seem like a chore, especially when it is easier to just sit around and relax after a busy day or few hours. Exercise excuses like this are closely related to simply being a busy person.
fitblendr can adjust to you and your mood
You don’t have to go all in after a busy schedule with a “killer” workout you planned. You can go easy, say with bodyweight, and start with smaller reps or even a shorter blend. If a particular region or area of your body is sore, you can avoid it. fitblendr is all about creating a workout blend that works for you and how you are feeling.
“I’m too stressed out.”
High levels of stress can make it tempting to skip exercise, especially when it is far easier to simply sit on a couch and bury yourself in a salty snack and watch something on TV to relieve your stress.
fitblendr is better at stress relief than Netflix
It may seem like just sitting and binge watching a show will relieve your stress. And in the short term, yes, you will perhaps forget what was stressing you out. But studies have shown that exercise, even in short bursts, releases endorphins in your body and calm you and lower your stress levels naturally – without fatty or sugary foods or entertainment.
fitblendr is all about crafting an exercise blend that you want to do. And there are do overs! If you create an exercise blend but aren’t feeling it, click the start over button!

fitblendr is just a click away and is easy to get started
fitblendr takes seconds to fire up and create a fitness blend for you. You don’t need to gather any equipment. Consider using fitblendr with a friend, or selecting an area you like working on (such as core or arms).

“It’s incredibly inconvenient to workout as a busy person.”
