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? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience . Write at least 250 words .
Nowadays,
people
are focusing too much on their work
, study, and social lives. More and more people
are starting to ignore their own health, leading to getting diseases, such
as diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer.
People
who have work
, especially people
in their 40's significantly suffer from this
problem. Many of them have to work
from 9 am to 5 pm and sometimes they would have over-time
, which extends their working Correct your spelling
overtime
hours
to almost twelve hours
. Imagine if people
need to work
12 hours
a day for 5 days a week, who would be willing to do any exercise? Not to mention
, if they are parents they will also
have to take care of their children after a long day of work
, which makes it more impossible to work
out or do some other sports. Taking my father as an example, my dad works for a restaurant for a 10-hour shift a day. He usually comes back home around 8 pm and after taking a shower, it will be 9 pm. It is not possible to do any kind of sport other than sleep.
I think that there is a couple of ways to solve this
problem to improve the workers' health. I would suggest that companies give their employees
at least one-hour worth of "gym time" to let the employees
hit the gym with friends. Another solution is to reduce the employees
' working hours
. For instance
, they can reduce it to 6 to 7 hours
. This
allows the workers to go home much earlier and do some exercises at a gym or at home. However
, I don't think this
solution is realistic though I prefer this
idea as if the work
period is reduced the companies will have to hire more employees
, which will cost them more money. They probably not going to do this
. Therefore
, the first solution will be the most adoptive one.
In conclusion, this
is a significant issue that a lot of work
people
are dealing with. It is mainly caused by long work
hours
. One of the best ways to solve the problem is to give them a workout period during their work
