Obesity is an important metabolic disorder and it is estimated that 1 in 5 people are obese. It has also been established that 97% of obese people have no problems whatsoever, if not related to eating disorders and a sedentary lifestyle; therefore, a correct nutrition and constant physical activity are the most effective remedies. Such a severe weight gain, however, leads to an excessive accumulation of adipose tissue, with an increase in circulating lipoproteins that form atherosclerotic plaques; impaired circulation and an increase in blood pressure, not to mention the repercussions of excessive weight on the skeleton and joints, and again, motor difficulties, constant risks of injuries and difficulties in relating to others due to a non-acceptance of one's own aesthetic.

In the United States, 67% of men and 62% of women are obese or heavily overweight, and the prevalence of obesity increased by 62% among men and 52% among women between the years 1976-1980 and 1988. 1994.

What to do then? Here the professionalism of the personal trainer comes into play and hence the need to have a background of information such as to make our preparation flawless and of a high level: ordinary people are our best customers and the first step to approach you is to communicate through the language of competence, because these people must be sure to find prepared and unprepared personal trainers on their way to hope, as often happens, if you are lucky, to meet the right personal trainer ...
