When anyone looks at an overweight person, young or old, there is no argument that they should incorporate more exercise into their life, so why haven't they? There are many reasons why people say they can't go to the gym. Most of them are just excuses because people are lazy and don't want to put in the time and effort. However, some overweight people tend to show signs of low self-esteem and may not feel comfortable exercising in public for this reason. This makes it very difficult for them to motivate themselves, so they instead choose to hide in the comfort of their own home where no one can see them and devour their sorrows. On the other hand, some overweight people may have never been to the gym, so they are intimidated by physically fit people and all the exercise equipment because they don't know how to use it. There are also overweight and handicapped people who use it as an excuse. Although being handicapped has some disadvantages, there are many ways to get around them, all it takes is dedication. All these signs show that overweight people need to find an external energy source to get started on the right path and to find it they should hire a personal trainer. Having a personal trainer by someone's side while they are at the gym will greatly increase much-needed motivation and boost a person's confidence as they see physical changes and become more accustomed to the idea of ​​exercising.
