How do you motivate fat and lazy friends to come lift with you?
my friends seem content with spending their whole day playing league of legends and overwatch while stuffing their faces with snacks and getting more obese.
it feels wrong to just sit by and let them destroy their bodies
Let them motivate themselves, they are over 18 right? Sure you can shove facts down their throats, but I think the best way is if they truly want to change.
You do what you do. They can follow. Or not.
Lead by example and make occasional open offers. You can't force motivation, but you can possibly inspire a change, or help someone who wants to change and needs a hand.
Avoid being negative and/or persistent. It just puts people on the defensive. They know the health facts already. They are very aware of their habits and bodies.
>How do you motivate
You don't.
They have to want to change. No one else can make them.
I told my friend I need a spot and it's the only time I have lately to hang out.
He's been coming consistently with me now for a few months. He said he didn't want to lose weight (because he didn't want to change based on what other people thought of him) but has so far changed his diet and seems pretty happy with a lot of the progress he's been making.
Maybe try what I did. Tell your friend you really want to hang out and that he should come to the gym with you or something.
i don't stay friends with fat/lazy people. especially the ones that complain about being fat/lazy.
i just can't respect them.
Why do you care?
>man i gotta lose weight
>i can help you. Come to my gym
>never shows
If fat people really wanted to be slim they would be.
