Many working people get little or no exercise either during the working day or in their free time and have health problems as a result. Why do many working people not get enough exercise? What can be done about this problem?

#people #exercise #time #health
In many nations around the world, corporate employees lack regular exercise as a part of their daily life. While there could be plenty of reason for
this
 undesirable occurrence, there are certain measures that could be taken to bring workout routines as a part of our schedule to alleviate the problems.
Although
 there is a wide spectrum of causes that could prevent us from exercising, primary reason can be linked to our desk jobs. As a corporate
work
 revolves around cubicles, board rooms and conferences, most of the employees remain glued to their chairs for almost 10 to 12 hours a day at
work
.
Furthermore
, the stress levels arising from the employment could be a major form of
demotivation
 to
work
 out in free
time
,
instead
 people end up being couch potatoes.
Lastly
, traffic jams and urbanization might be adding fuel to fire by eating up
time
 of working professionals and making it difficult for them to access gym or sports facilities. Despite the variety of causes, a number of steps can be taken to increase the physical activities as part of the routine of working individuals.
To begin
 with, offices can be equipped with standing desks, thread mills or a gym area as facilities for employees, enabling them to make the most out of their
time
.
Additionally
, corporations can sponsor their employees to form sports team or give them
time
 off for representing corporate sports events
such
 as marathons or soccer.
Lastly
, the government could launch a nationwide campaign to spread awareness on health & fitness,
for instance
, offer rewards to the general public to stay fit by taking public transport
instead
 of driving a car to commute. To conclude with, since there is a plethora of reasons that hinder ones physical activities in
this
 day and age, it is imperative for companies and administration to adopt practices that help reduce stress levels and promote an active lifestyle in order to ensure the wellbeing of its
work force
the force of workers available
workforce

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
