With the social and economic development, more and more overweighted people appear. The problem of overweight which caused great concern in western countries also becomes an important public health issue about our people's lives and health. The adults group is the main power to social progress, their health not only affects their individual happiness and family life but also influence the fate and future of our nation. Since psychology of physical exercise raised in the 1960-1970 of the 20th century, the research of physical exercise and psychological health has become an important area of sports psychology. With the gradual change of our population composition, the proportion of elder population becomes bigger and bigger. In my eyes, Understanding the psychological health status, the indicators of the overweighted group and obesity adult is a significant subject to the social development. Urumqi is the capital and central city of Xinjiang, reseaching the psychological status of adult population who participate in physical training in the health club in Urumqi will be significant with a typical theoretical and. practical meaning.In this paper, the author statistic, analyze and evaluate 318 persons whose physical exercise time are more than one month and not less than three times every week by philological, criminalities and statistics and other research methods, these persons come from six different health clubs in four different districts of Urumqi. Researching the status of physical self-pride and subjective happy feeling of adults and overweighted people who exercise in Urumqi gymnasium, analyzing the character of these groups, comparing the similarities and differences between these groups and the well balanced people, in order to offer the academic proof for the developing of healthy body and the evaluating of physical health.The result of research show that, first, the physical self-pride and subjective happy feeling of overweighted people is up the middle level of psychological health, the degree of female's happy feeling is higher than the male's, the level of physical self-pride of wrinkly is higher than youngling's, the physical self-pride of the Han nationality is higher than the minorities, but it is no obvious difference between their subjective happy feeling. The psychological effect of minorities due to the change of physical index is more obvious than the Han nationality. The degree of people's holistic physical health that comes from Sayibac district of Urumqi is better than that of other districts. Second, the level of well balanced people'physical self-pride and subjective happy feeling is higher than the middle level of psychological health. The degree of most female's physical self-pride is higher than the male's, but the level of the male's subjective happy feeling is higher than the female's clearly. Either the degree of physical self-pride or the level of subjective happy feeling, the wrinkle's is higher than youngling's universally, and these two indexes of the Han nationality is higher than that of the minorities', and these two index of the sayibac district is higher than that of other districts of Urumqi. Third, the physical self-pride of the overweighted is lower than that of the well balanced, but it is independent of male or female. From the variaty of ages we can make a conclusion clearly that the physical self-pride of the overweighted is lower than that of the well balanced, and the Han nationality is higher than the minorities. But if we focus on the subjective happy feeling of the well balanced, the minorities'is higher than the Han nationality's. The physical self-pride of the well balanced is higher than the overweighted whatever districts.
