As we can see from the chart, on the top of the list is the number of working

people seldom doing physical exercises, which accounts for 60%. What follows are

working people doing exercises once a month at a percentage of 25%. On the

bottom is the number of people doing regular exercises, which takes up only 15%.

Although more and more working people are realizing the importance of physical

exercises, they cannot spare their limited time to do some exercises because of

the heavy burden of supporting their families on their shoulders. Apart from

that, their daily lives at the office cannot provide them with the exercise

their body needs. Lack of physical exercises is one of the main contributing

factors to poor health among the working people.

In order to stay healthy and concentrate on their work more efficiently, all

people, especially working people should take some physical exercises. Society

should encourage people to take exercises regularly. The problem of insufficient

exercises among working people should be solved as soon as possible. (174 words)
