When it comes to exercise, we often encounter barriers that prevent us from making it happen on a regular basis, despite the known-benefits of a regular workout routine. In this episode, we break down some common obstacles to exercise and also walk through some basic steps on how to overcome them:

• No knowledge (7:46) - Where do I begin?
• No ability (21:20) - What if I'm injured (21:33), sick (31:01), or have a chronic illness (33:38)?
• No gym (38:05) - What if I don't have equipment? 
• No motivation (44:53) - What if I don't feel like working out?
• No time (48:36) - What if I don't have the time?

Whether you've never set foot in a gym, or you're someone who has worked out ever day for the past ten years, we hope you get something out of this!
