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

Medical care professionals insist that the elderly should do physical exercises on a daily basis. Meanwhile, senior citizens do not live an active life and do not

exercise

sufficiently. In

this

essay, I will examine what causes the lack of activities among the aging population and what can be done in order to motivate them. The main reason why older persons do not train enough is they are not healthy and sporty in the

first

place.

In other words

, they did not form a habit to

exercise

regularly in their youthful stage.

Thus

, it is significantly difficult to start training at the moment when a person has health issues

such

as high blood pressure, overweight, joint and muscle problems, and the others.

For instance

, even being a young and rather trained adult I find it difficult to work out regularly, especially if it was a large gap in training.

In addition

, an aged person may be depressed and does not have a purpose in life anymore,

as a result

, they do not try to do exercises or somehow change their lives.

This

is because any physical activity needs energy, dedication, and desire to improve. One of the ways to tackle the issue and inspire the elderly is the creation of social clubs for the older generation, where they can attend different group programs

such

as stretching, yoga

class

, or even high-intensity

class

for those who are fit enough and does not have any medical contraindications. Visiting these kinds of clubs older people will learn proper

exercise

techniques and communicate with each other which will be an extra motivation to attend the

class

. To illustrate, in my own experience I know that a coach and your classmates tend to encourage you to train more and even to change your lifestyle for more balanced and active. Personally, I even started to prepare healthier food and walk more after visiting a sports

class

. In conclusion, lack of physical

exercise

among older people is a complex issue;

however

, it could be solved by implementing social clubs for seniors.
