Obese people who perform sports routines guided by a professional will notice how their health and physical appearance improve"

Obesity has become one of the most common diseases in the world, although the most underestimated of all, being perceived by the population as a simple aesthetic problem. It is a multifactorial pathology that completely alters the organism, affecting the metabolism and the normal functioning of the organs. 

A sedentary lifestyle and an excessive and inadequate diet are two of the elements with the greatest impact on the development of this disease. However, the simplistic belief that an increase in physical activity and a decrease in intake is sufficient for its treatment has been seen as an ineffective treatment, given that the system in this pathological state does not respond in the same way.
