Getting my son into weight training

[BBimil]

My son wants to play video games all day and has become obese. He is like over 300 lb and lazy and when I try to get him exercising he'll try it for a little while and then quit. Is there a strategy to get him to work out and start weight training that will be fun for him. Any tips or advice for a parent would be appreciated

my psychology degree can pay off in situations like this. i would hire him a good coach who can get him motivated. the truth is the last person teens want to listen to are their parents!

if you want to get your son into it, start with simple stuff like doing push ups, sit ups and squats no weights at home

kids his age don't want to be seem in public with their parents. find him a buddy to train with

Leave him in the woods. The walk back will be a good start

Perhaps not much can be said to 300lbs boy if he has no interest

Most of the time when kids have their mind made up they aren’t going to change until they want to change. If you force it it will turn him against it for life.

Start motivating him...also let him do some basic stuff at home in order to be active...
