The rate at which people participate in viewing sporting activities has been on the rise lately with more people becoming fans of big events like the Olympics. While some people believe that
this
strategy will encourage more people to work out often, others feel there are alternative ways of making them
exercise
. I,
however
, believe that a combination of
both
strategies is necessary for a successful incorporation of the exercising ha
On the one hand, those who advocate that watching people play sports is good do so on the grounds that it changes in
bout keeping fit .
buttress
this
point, most people in the society today are reluctant to train because they hold the view that working out is extremely boring and tasking.
Therefore
, watching certain people perform these activities with excitement and ease may make them have a complete change of mentality towards exercising. To illustrate, in a recent interview carried out in the playing ground of Heritage Secondary School, Abuja, about seventy percent of the students who were seen carrying out various forms of
exercise
admitted that they never knew it could be
such
fun until they watched people perform similar acts on TV.
Thus
,
this
goes to show the great influence viewing sporting events can have on encouraging people to work out.
On the other hand
, those who disagree with the view that only watching sporting activities on Tv can get individuals motivated to
exercise
do so on the basis that there are more effective methods for encouraging
exercise
.
e of
such
includes, the offer of huge rewards to participants by the government. To clarify, People tend to engage in activities that are physically rewarding,
hence
offering special prizes for completing certain schedules of an
exercise
to individuals can make the whole community participate actively in sports.
In addition
, the creation of easily accessible training facilities is
also
another very effective strategy.
In other words
, when individuals know that they do not have to walk long distances to access a proper gym, they will definitely be motivated to train.
For instance
, having affordable gym centres on every street may encourage in
both
young and old to imbibe the habit of exercising.
However
, in my opinion, I believe that for people to take ex
eriously, they should
both
watch others do it, while having access to the best training facilities there is.
This
is mainly because
although
these other methods will help them start the habit, watching these sports on TV will make them continue in the act indefinitely.
To sum up, seeing people play sports is one method of motivating others to start exercising. Other be
ptions include making exercising facilities easily accessible and rewarding participants.
However
, despite people’s varying opinion, I believe a combination of
both
methods is crucial for maintaining a good working out culture.
