Why does my mom think shes so far out of shape & then make excuses for not exercising?

My mom is 54, 240 lbs. Her BMI is only 39.9. Yeah, thats obese, but its not as bad as it could be, right? Whenever I try to get her to at least walk around the farm (only 20 acres) she says she doesn't have time. It would only be five or ten minutes. Then (we already get up early) when I suggest we go to lap swim in the morning, she says no. Then i'll suggest fun things like roller blading and biking and she'll go on about how she would love to do those things, but then end it saying "But I have no time." If she added all the time she spends on her phone, she'd have at least thirty minutes. She has literally NO motivation. How can I help her?
