Give a speech on the topic:-

Walking and riding, two delightful and health -giving exercises are becoming extinct.

A very warm good morning to one and all gathered here. Today, I, Aarohi Srikant, would like to express my views on the topic - Walking and riding, two delightful and health -giving exercises are becoming extinct.​

We all are known to the fact that our health is our true wealth. If we keep ourselves fit, we can perform in a better way in all spheres. But unfortunately, the sedentary lifestyle followed by most of us these days is deteriorating our health.

​Nowadays, very few people do walking or riding. They have one or the other excuse each day to escape. This is leading to the extinction of these delightful health-giving exercises.

I would like to request each one of you to schedule your day in such a way that you keep some time for walking or riding.    

Answer 2

There are many reasons why walking and riding a bicycle are two activities that are not enjoyed by many these days.

 

To begin with, given today's rushed lifestyle, there is too much to do, but very little time. As a result, some aspects of life get neglected. Unfortunately, it is health that tends to be overlooked and so people do not even bother trying to fit walking and riding into their daily routines.  

Additionally, the modern lifestyle is very sedentary, marked by a lack of  patience. It discourages physical activity.  The focus instead, is on fads that promise immediate bodyweight and structure changes . Therefore, activities that require physical input are not appealing any more.

 

Further, in this era of smartphones, there is a tendency to document life through pictures and post them on social media for greater publicity. Simple activities like cycling and walking are probably not worth mentioning on such sites. So, since they do not add value to people's virtual lives, they are not of much importance.

 These are but a few reasons why  simple and inexpensive activities like walking and cycling have lost their appeal. However with growing awareness, popular trends might change.
