Adults today do not do enough exercise. Some people believe that showing major sports events like the Olympics or the Football World Cup on television encourages people to exercise. Others argue that there are better ways to encourage adults to move more. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Exercise

is essential in achieving optimal health, as it pushes us out of our comfort zone and away from disease and death.

However

, while some believe that showing major sporting events on television motivates individuals to

exercise

, I feel that there are other option to get them to

exercise

. On the one hand, it could be argued that broadcasting major sporting events on television motivates people to start exercising. Those

on

Suggestion

in

favour of motivating people by showing sports on TV argue that many of the athletes in their late thirties are giving serious competition to their much younger challengers.

As a result

, many adults realize that

this

health is all they will have when they get older. Tennis star Roger Federer, who is thirty-five years old is a classic example of

this

. Many individuals have followed him and taken up tennis as a sport to improve and maintain their fitness levels. They

also

claim that people watching events on TV are emotionally connected to their teams and their country.

Consequently

, when their team wins a medal, they feel energetic and stimulated to improve their fitness levels.

On the other hand

, I side with those who believe that there are other methods to motivate people to

exercise

. The

first

way is to propagate the benefits of

exercise

using different methods

such

as advertisements in theatre screens, newspaper and social media pages.

For instance

, a short clip can be shown before any movie starts.

This

will not only educate the people about the benefits of

exercise

, but it will

also

be captured in their subconscious mind, which will always keep on reminding the person the benefit of exercising.

However

, my strongest idea to propagate

exercise

is to let the local government get involved. Governments could promote various programs like dedicate a

day

a Yoga

day

. March 25 is celebrated as World International Yoga

day

. During

this

day

various yoga programs are held to propagate not only the precise of yoga, but

also

informing about the benefits of healthy living. In conclusion,

although

watching sports on TV can be motivating for individuals to start the practice of

exercise

, but other ways like advertisements and having dedicated days to remind people about physical activity is better.

Therefore

, ultimately, I strongly believe that there are other ways to motivate individuals than just by showing sports on television.
