Why do we quit fitness?

The story highlights that many British adults give up on their fitness goals surprisingly quickly, often within 33 days. A big reason for this is neglecting recovery. People tend to focus only on the exercise itself, forgetting that rest and recuperation are just as vital for progress and preventing burnout, leading to them stopping altogether.
