It seems fewer and fewer young people are interested in playing sport or getting involved in other physical activities — and there are many excuses for avoiding it. The excuses for avoiding sport and fitness are as follows:
«It’s not cool.»
Try telling David Beckham, Andy Murray and Ellen MacArthur. All right, we can’t all reach the very top, but we can all get a lot out of being fitter. People who tell you it’s not cool are usually the ones who are too lazy.
«None of my friends or family does it.»
Be a pioneer. They might be inspired by your example. If your friends and family make fun of fit folk it might actually be because they’re jealous.
«It’s a boy thing.»
It’s true, more boys than girls do exercise, but that’s not because girls are not good at sport. Many girls don’t find the activities at school suit them, but there are things to try outside school, such as dance or martial arts.
«It’s sore/uncomfortable/sweaty.»
It should never be sore for long, or uncomfortable, and feeling a bit stiff after activity is natural. Yes, activity does make you sweat, but if you’re enjoying yourself you probably won’t notice — and everyone else gets sweaty, too.
«I don’t want muscles.»
Being fit and having bulging muscles don’t necessarily go together. To get big muscles you have to do a programme of specific exercises.
«I’m overweight» or «I’m skinny.»
Don’t worry about what you think you look like — get in there and enjoy yourself. If you’re genuinely very overweight, not just a stone or less, talk to your doctor and tell thim what you want to do. If you’ve got a disability, don’t let yourself be cut out of the action — getting fit benefits everyone.
«I don’t like joining in teams.»
Fine. If teams leave you cold, check out activities you can do by yourself or with a friend.
«I’d rather play computer games or watch TV or talk to my mates.»
It doesn’t have to be either/or — you can do both. Once you’ve got over worrying about looking silly or getting sweaty, think about all the positive reasons for being physically active. Apart from the health benefits people of all ages get from exercises, it’s also an opportunity to meet up with friends or make new ones, it can provide a fun break from the stresses of school and exams, and it can give you a real sense of achievement — you might discover a talent you never knew you had.
