Cedric Bryant, the chief science officer for the American Council on Exercise, suggests that people should ask themselves these three fundamental questions about exercise: 

How much, how long, and how often are the wrong questions. It’s better to be satisfied with small steps and concern yourself with whether what you are doing is safe. 

In Bryant’s view, perceived lack of time is the number one barrier to exercise. “Notice I say ‘perceived’ lack of time, because we always find time for the things we value.”
