Skills Revision

You dont have to scare your family with statistics about

heart attacks. There are several positive ways to
encourage your family to exercise more often. To begin
with, get them to exercise more often by emphasizing how
good theyll feel and how much better
theyll look if they work out on a regular basis. A second
method you can use is to set an example. If they see you
walking to stores rather than driving, they might be
encouraged to do likewise. Finally, make exercise a family
activity. Suggest that the whole family go hiking or
camping together.

point of finding it difficult to read a magazine or
newspaper. And last of all, a general feeling of
hopelessness may signal depression. People feel
indifferent to their families and jobs and may begin to
think that life is not worth living.
