Do you sometimes feel like you’re the only one of your friends and family who isn’t working out on a regular basis? Well, don’t be because there’s a very good chance those people are totally lying to you about their workout routine.

19% of people admit they’ve lied about working out.
As for why, 37% admit they fibbed to convince someone else they were busy.
35% lied to impress someone
31% were too embarrassed by what they were actually doing.
Now even if people do make it to the gym, that doesn’t necessarily mean they actually workout.
37% of people say they’ve bailed out of their workout early because they forgot something.
