Doctors recommend that older people exercise regularly. However, many older people do not exercise enough. What could be the reason for this? What can be done to encourage them to do physical activities?

Many

elders

are not exercising enough, even if doctors suggest they do so. I will explain some possible reasons and provide a few solutions for the phenomenon.   There are several reasons why

elders

tend not to do enough

sports

.

First,

they are not as energetic. As individuals aged, they would usually get tired more easily.

Therefore

, many

elders

might feel they do not have the energy to

exercise

that much.

Secondly

, many

sports

have potential dangers. Many

sports

are very competitive, and a majority of them require vigorous movements that

elders

’ bodies cannot achieve. In soccer,

for instance

, all the bumping and kicking would even hurt a young adult. Despite that, just a strong kick could stretch one’s back.

Finally

, the limit created by their bodies left

elders

with mostly boring choices. When an old person is trying to choose an

exercise

to do, some are too tiring, some are too dangerous, and many that are left are just not entertaining. As

elders

get bored easily, they are less willing to

exercise

.   Based on the causes, I have come up with some solutions. One solution is to set up clubs. Being with a group often makes things more interesting, as it provides opportunities for socializing.

For example

, some

elders

may join the club because their friends recommended them, and to meet their friends, they would come and possibly

exercise

because

that is

the activity of the club. Meanwhile, parks and gyms could build and provide more facilities for

that are more entertaining and suitable for older people.

Last

but not least, communities could hold related events and activities per week or per month. Just like joining a club,

this

could not only provide

elders

with a reason to

but

also

chances for making friends. At the same time, those who are not exercising enough could be influenced by

feel too tired or not energetic to do enough

Moreover

, many

sports

could do more harm than good to their bodies, and most of the

sports

that are appropriate for them are not very entertaining. To solve the problem, people can join clubs, and the community could provide facilities and hold activities to encourage the

to
