Where this comes from

Abstract

Many psychological barriers keep overweight people from being physically active. Too often, these patients think being large and being athletic simply don't mix. But with the right approach, physicians can help sedentary overweight patients overcome barriers and start enjoying the many benefits that regular exercise offers- regardless of whether the patients lose weight.
