Hypodynamia is becoming a serious problem for our society. According to a Report by the World Health Organization, insufficient motor activity is one of the top ten risk factors causing death worldwide. The modern way of life – the increase in comfort and automation of everyday life, the development of transport services, the multitude of opportunities for entertainment and work at home, predispose to reduced motor activity. It should be a priority for all people, regardless of gender or age. In addition to strengthening the musculature, including the heart muscle, it stores and protects the lungs improves blood circulation. Non-compliance with the recommendations for physical activity, at least half an hour of exercise per day, can lead to obesity, excessive joint load, metabolic problems, diseases of the cardiovascular system, etc. The work of the muscles also contributes to the development of the brain and the establishment of intercenter and intersensory connections. Obesity is the most common metabolic disease these days, reaching epidemic rates in both developed and developing countries. In Bulgaria, the data also show an increasing number of people who are overweight and obese. Obesity is a chronic disease that is characterized by the accumulation of energy material in excess in the form of spare fats. The body's ability to stock up on carbohydrates is limited, which is why the accumulation of spare fats is practically unlimited, in some cases it can reach huge sizes. The purpose of this study is to analyze the possibility of improving the physical and mental health in obese and overweight patients. A survey was conducted in two stages before and after conducting a two-month program of exercise at home and recommendations for changing daily motor activity. The survey tracked objective indicators of weight, pulse and arterial pressure (measured by patients) and subjective – self-esteem, mood, general tone, in overweight and obese patients with low motor activity. Comparative analysis of the results of both stages shows that with a timely and well-chosen therapeutic approach, significantly reduces the relative share of weight and improves the self-esteem of the patients studied. Conclusion: The study reveals the great importance of motor activity and capacity to improve patients' social status, working capacity and lifestyle. Especially effective is kinesitherapy, as well as the change in daily motor activity.
