People who are overweight often say that they would like to join the gym, but instead of taking a step towards the gym they take a step back. They all have a common thought: ‘What if people laugh at me?’ Or ‘I’ll be the joke of the gym. They will say I give give the gym a bad name. The gym is only meant for athletes!’

Motivation, like most things worthwhile, take work and practice. Therefore, the best way to keep on doing something is to keep on doing something.
