Question

mario has missed a few workouts, after deciding to go out and have fun with his friends instead of following his physical fitness plan. what internal barriers does mario seem to be suffering from?
having low self esteem and/or body shame
struggling to have self - discipline
lacking the knowledge about how to exercising correctly
having lack of safe spaces for exercise
feeling like physical fitness is a hard choice to make

Explanation:

Mario chooses socializing over workouts, showing he struggles to control his actions (self - discipline). Low self - esteem/body shame (no mention of self - image issues), lack of exercise knowledge (not about knowing how to exercise), lack of safe spaces (external, not internal), and fitness as a hard choice (more about perception, but self - discipline directly ties to action control).

Answer:

struggling to have self - discipline
