Conflicting activities for exercise.
190 nonexercisers foresaw regular exercise (> or = 3 times a week) as interfering with day-to-day activities. Most frequently mentioned were various social activities, doing household chores, and watching TV. The impediment of all activities, except watching TV, was expected to be at least rather bothersome. Interventions should focus on these particular barriers to action.
