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 so many working people not get enough exercise? What can be done about this problem?

It has been observed that

people

spend more

time

in the

office

and afflict their

health

by ignoring the importance of performing physical activities. It happens due to many reasons which are discussed in the subsequent paragraphs followed by the solutions to resolve them.

To begin

with, there are myriad reasons for the sedentary lifestyle of the working class.

First

and foremost, It is the commitment of the companies to the clients for completing

work

in a short period that

employees

spend more

time

in the

office

. In these scenarios, in order to finish the tasks within the deadline, an employee often fails to sustain the

work

-life balance and does not get sufficient

time

to exercise.

This

problem is witnessed in many companies with poor

work

culture especially the startups, where the strength of the

employees

is less and one person perform extra

work

by spending more

time

in

office

. Yet another reason for ignoring physical

health

is the ambition of getting appraisals and incentives. It is generally seen that working

people

work

overtime apart from the normal

hours

to earn extra income owing to which working out in the free

time

takes back seat. Not only

this

, due to poor management of the

employees

, they fail to complete the task well in

time

,and

thus

, get negligible

time

for a workout.

For example

, some

employees

waste enough

time

in gossiping in the

office

which leads to spending evening

hours

in the

office

to complete the tasks, thereby afflicting their

health

by not burning any calorie in the evening. Fortunately,

this

issue can be resolved by the joint efforts of both the government and employers.

First

of all, the government should make

people

aware of the consequences of poor

health

which can encourage them to do exercise.

This

can be done by organising campaigns and broadcasting information through mass media.

Furthermore

, employers ought to implement the policies which can restrict the

office

hours

so that

employees

have enough spare

time

to

work

out. To cite an example, a multinational company named Siena have installed timers in the computers which automatically switched off the system by the end of the working

hours

.

Such

steps can help

employees

by providing enough

time

to hit the gym in the evenings. To conclude, for the sake of earning more,

people

seem to overlook the necessity of maintaining physical heath which is leading to many diseases.

However

, it is possible to tackle

this

issue if the government and organisations take proactive steps to make the public aware of

this

grave concern.
