Doctors recommend that older people should get regular exercise. However, many older people do not take enough exercise. What could be the reasons for this? What can be done to encourage them to take exercise?

Exercise

is the key to live a healthy lifestyle as per eminent doctors. Despite

this

, old generations’ people always not take workout seriously and always shun from it. I believe that having a

fear

of getting injured stop them to do it, it can be solved by some possible steps.

Firstly

, old youth people abstains from

exercise

due to

fear

of injury as they do want to face any problem in their later age, as it is a well-known fact that the during the old age, the human body got weaker. If in

this

age, body sustains from any injuries, it will take months to get recovered.

Hence

old generations deter them from

exercise

. To set an example, my grandfather got a major ankle ’ twist during the evening walk and due to that he had to use a wheel chair for 2 months and he is now afraid of

exercise

. To solve

this

problem, since

exercise

provides uncountable benefits to the health. It is important for the elderly to overcome

this

fear

of injury; to do

this

family should help them.

Instead

of doing heavy

exercise

, they should be taught light form of exercises.

Such

as yoga and stable cycling at home. These exercises do not push more stress on old person's muscles. They should

also

use protective gears like the helmet and knee-cap while exercises.

For instance

- According to recent research on health in Canada, 85% older people prefer to do household chores as a means of exercises to keep them fit because

this

activity do not need more force and

also

promote joint power. To conclude- seniors are reluctant to

exercise

due to

fear

of injury.

However

,

this

can be avoided to a great extent by wearing and

exercise

gears and encourages them to do light

exercise

.
