Physical exercise is important for health, but some people do
very little exercise.
What are the effects of doing very little exercise? How can
people be encouraged to do more exercise?
We live in a fast-paced, stressful world where people are
rushed in every aspect of their lives. As a result, people don’t take time to
cook meals or work out. This has a negative outcome on their health.
Exercising is important because it improves our stamina and
fitness. It prevents us from getting ill and improves our blood circulation. We
have more energy, positive thoughts, look younger and confident as a result of
exercising. So when we do very little exercise the reverse results are
expected. Our health suffers and we are prone to illnesses and obesity. We don’t
have energy to get through the day so we are not productive in our work.
Due to the negative impact of limited exercise on our health,
it is a good idea to try and motivate people to work out. The government can
create more parks, bike lanes and place outdoor gym equipment in public areas.
Factories and businesses in China are taking the initiative and have exercise
classes in the morning for all workers to energize them for the rest of the
day. These classes are compulsory and beneficial for employees. It is also
important to teach children at a young age about the importance of health and
exercise. Developing positive habits from a young age means that these will be
carried on when they are older.
Although exercising and keeping fit is a personal choice
that benefits an individual, not everyone puts time aside to do this. Workers
can be encouraged in the workplace to exercise as part of a daily routine or
the government can provide the necessary resources to make this easier.
