Exercise at Any Size

Larger sized individuals face unique challenges in an effort to be active. You may not be able to bend or move in the same way that other people can.

It may be hard to find clothes and equipment for exercising. You may feel self-conscious being active around other people.

Facing these challenges is hard, but it can be done!

If your feet or joints hurt when you stand, non-weight-bearing activities, such as water workouts, may be best until some weight is lost.

If you can’t do an activity, don’t be hard on yourself. It may be easier the next time, so keep trying!

Appreciate what you can do, even if you think it’s not much. Just moving any part of your body will make you healthier.
