Milo F. Bryant, a certified fitness professional, gives some great advice this month, for plus size folks who would like to start attending the gym, in an article for The Eagle. Milo rightly comments that many over-sized people never manage to get themselves to exercise at a local gym or fitness center because they fear being “gawked at”. He also goes on to give some tips on what to think about to try and overcome putting to much weight to these “gawks” and not letting them get in your way.
I must admit I have felt this sensation many times, and even when I did get myself to the gym getting over those stares from skinny people take a little bit of getting used to. But don’t let these stares and people get in the way of your exercise. Let them look. Who cares?
