I grew up in a very sedentary family and my parents are becoming worse and worse in their condition everyday. I can feel the pain seeing them going back to the doctor every now and then and only making the conditions worse. I love them very much and this is my only way to help them but they always refuse for what I always teach them. Way back in 2004 I started exercising and up to this day I am still learning but there’s something missing in my life, I wanted to share the things that I’ve learned to the rest of my family especially my mom and dad. Anyone please give me any motivational tips so that they may have a clear mind and change their attitude towards exercise. It may be too late if in the long run and sitting here will do nothing. They are both senior citizens my mom 61 and dad 63. I love them very much and I just wanted to help them help themselves please give me some motivitional tips Thank You!
These is more of an emotional thing
I’ve told them wonderful stories, trying to make them understand what is right and what is wrong about their way of living without forcing them. I just wanted to help them and helping them help themselves not just through exercise but their way of thinking. I always understand that being older our body depreciates in performance. But you are right all of you guys here but this is not the end, the one thing that I want to impart to them is motivation and optimism
