It is difficult for people living in cities today get enough physical exercise. Why is it the case ? What can be done to solve the problem ?

It is generally observed that people dwelling in urban areas undergo limited physical and strength building exercises.

This

essay will

first

discuss the reasons behind

this

alarming trend: mainly, limited

time

and space; followed by a discussion on a feasible solution to curb

this

issue. While looking into the main causes of

this

dilemma:

time

constraints, one of the major issues faced by city dwellers, cannot be ignored.

In other words

, their extremely demanding work requirements deprives them of the

time

to engage in physical exertion. The few hours left after executing their official work are spent either in fulfilling personal commitments or with with friends and family.

Consequently

, while trying to attain a balance between their work and personal life, they fail to devote any

time

for physical fitness and training.

Moreover

, lack of open space,

such

as grounds and open air parks, is another contributor of negligence towards physical health. Sadly, with increase in population rate in urban areas, city development authorities have started giving more importance to urbanization with limited resources for grounds and parks. How would

such

environment facilitate people to engage in physical exercises? The answer lies in finding a solution to control

this

decline in physical exertion and training. Primarily, offices should introduce some sessions for employees to engage in physical exercises,

such

as running or cycling.

Likewise

, each office should reserve separate physical exercise areas to promote

this

trend;

this

can be achieved by reserving either a ground or allocating areas for gymnasiums. To conclude, limited space or

time

may result in inadequate exercise level among people residing in cities.

However

, government and private organizations can play their part in curbing

this

trend. I am confident, that people understand the importance of these exercises and a few reforms can transform the entire scenario.
