There are many kinds of exercises that help people keep physically(身体上地) fit, if they axe done every day. There are sit-up(仰卧起坐) exercises that anyone can perform. for a few minutes every day. For a young person football is one of the best games. If more people would exercise daily, they would find themselves better all the time.
Television and other modem inventions could possibly be a factor that produces physical unfitness(不适). Television can be very educational, but mostly it is just a waste of time: With the automobile(汽车), another modem invention, people no longer walk to any place.
