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

As the ratio of working-class has increased ten folds in the

last

decade so have their

health

problems. The correlation is uncanny as members of many families choose to work or overwork themselves during the day to maintain a good lifestyle

thus

deteriorating their

health

as a consequence. The reason for

this

is as simple as not getting enough exercise as they don’t have enough leisure

time

on their hands to dedicate it to their personal needs. With thousands of

people

graduating from different universities each year, the competition to find and maintain a job has become a struggle for many

people

. The fact that many

people

end up with an almost identical qualification, has given

employers

an advantage over the

employees

to pay less or to find a quick substitute in case they are not happy with their current employment. The low payment, stress, and competition force the working class to exhaust themselves to a point where they don’t find enough

time

to invest in their

health

or personal grooming.

On the other hand

, we

also

have young and enthusiastic graduates who are entering the workforce and just want to make a mark in the industry, so they will work extra hours just to prove themselves. Some companies even offer to pay something extra if the employee gives more working hours,

thus

we see many

people

both young and, fighting for just that extra bonus or incentive by compromising their physical and mental

health

.

This

is

also

a reason why most of the working class will opt for an evening job or a temporary job every now and

then

.

Consequently

, we see that majority of the working class does not practice a healthy lifestyle like exercising or having a well-balanced diet as they don’t get enough

time

to themselves. Another reason could

also

be that it is quite costly to afford healthy food or get a gym subscription or a personal trainer. There are many plausible solutions to

this

seemingly simple problem and both of them involve the employer's concern and initiation. To encourage

employees

to live healthier lifestyle

employers

should hold workshops on mental and physical

health

. They can

also

partner with a gym and give discounts. Many

employees

will be urged to join when they will see their peers are joining as well. The companies can

also

have lunchrooms that offer healthier options and

employees

don't have to spend their money on junk food. Companies can

also

build small break rooms which can have sports equipment like table tennis, squash or basketball.

Employees

can use their free

time

doing these physical activities. More importantly,

employers

can discourage the working overtime culture and focus on the overall well-being of their

employees

as healthier and happier

employees

will be more productive in the long run. In conclusion, we know that low payment, growing competition and working overtime are few reasons due to which the

employees

end up ignoring their physical and mental

health

as they don't get enough

time

to dedicate it to themselves but with the consideration and intervention by the

employers

these issues can be taken care of.
