approach, many aged groups do not follow it. There are a couple of reasons why ancient people do not regularly practice exercise.
Firstly

, it is very difficult to change behaviours, particularly in the later years of our life.
For instance

, if people have spent a lifetime being sedentary, it is unlikely that they will change because of a doctor's recommendation. Simply, because their mind and body do not recognize
this
Linking Words
as an important goal. Indeed, several studies have been published on
this

topic, and they showed that ancients who practice sports are those who had practised during their youth.
Secondly
Linking Words
, not all neighbourhoods have facilities where individuals can exercise, and when they do have them, they are more focused on younger groups.
Although

it is challenging to change behaviours, there are several actions that could be put in place to tackle the lower rates of ancients practising physical activities. To commence with, more population-level commercials focusing on

specific group should be created, as people tend to follow role models. Perhaps, if they watched advertisements showing their peers exercising, it would be enough to influence them to start the same.
Furthermore

instructors should be available to help the aged community with their specific needs. In a nutshell, there are numerous valid explanations for why the aged population do not exercise.
However

, as there are many benefits of being physically active, under no circumstance, should we give up on having those groups working out.
