[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1784303, member: 365308"] I do work in a gym plus am not a natural skiinny and have met terrified newbies who have been sent by their GP to lose weight. They do feel really self conscious and some gyms have kit that is tricky for them to use e.g. treadmill 150kg man who could not use the incline feature, leg press is hard to get into if you have a gut not to mention that the place is full of skinny people who look like they know what they are doing and mirrors...I have to remind people that the diet thing is about 90% of the weight loss solution though in spote of all the inaccurate calorie counters on the machines etc. Exercise is great for lots of things including self confidence, endorphins, improving cv risk and making you more insulin sensitive but in study after study has been shown not to help people lose weight by itself. Consequently I think people should do movement that they love and although I work in one, I often encourage people to get outside and get some vitamin D on board! [/QUOTE]
