Sydney, Oct 24 : No matter how enthused people are about hitting the gym, they make excuses to skip working out at least once a week, says a poll.

In the poll the respondents cited several reasons for de-motivation with cold weather and dark nights being common excuses but mental fatigue was the reason most often given.
