chuksstanlo:
keeping fit is the one of the most important thing you can do for yourself but most Nigerians take it for granted.
Apart from the occasional jogging here and there nothing happens.
Is it that we don't have time?
Is it too much stress?
Is it because of traffic?
Or Is life in Nigeria just too hard and stressful?
I want to know because i see so many people out of shape.
People getting diabetes,heart disease because of their bad eating habits
An average nigerian is thinking of money first. Even the rich want more talk less of those that dont even have. I made a commitment to do pushups every morning, but oh mehn thoughts of exercises have been taken over by thoughts of making money. My only exercise now is sexercise.

Loll

Who said we ain't interested in keeping fit?
If I'm to speak for myself and my family, we at least make conscious effort to eat healthy and also workout.

But in a populace where a lot of persons resort to menial jobs that snuff the life out of them for survival, do you still expect them to visit the gym for body exercises?

On the flip, I'm on the lookout for an affordable gym here at Onitsha. Biko! I'm on a tight budget so no one should suggest all those extremely costly ones, I never dey work full time yet.
These glutes must be well rounded and shaped undecided

Hunger and Starvation upon the coongregations and masses. Most people spend all their time in morning and evening fellowsheeps where they go and pray in vain while hunger wait for them at home. So they dont have time to work out.

It’s a cultural issue. That’s why we eat anyhow. Drink anyhow. Not just money.

Working out is hard. I hope you know that too

The average Nigerian has more than enough exercise through their daily chores and routines, it's only not noticeable because our foods are mainly high carbohydrate foods hence, we pile up the weight. Exercise is not only when you run or gym, other things constitute as exercises too.

Trekking under the sun for several kilometers, standing on BRT buses, jumping from Keke to Okada, carrying water from borehole or well outside to bathroom, hustling from morning to night, shouting, frowning, quarreling and more all on just one small loaf of bread in the morning.

It beats me

Most modern sicknesses can be prevented with a healthy lifestyle

Why not just exercise, eat healthy and live clean (Good diet combination, no smoking, alcohol etc)
What kind of diet combination? Is it keto diet?
Re: Why Are Nigerians Not Interested In Keeping Fit? by AndLeo(m): 1:30pm On Nov 12, 2018
Because Nigerian girls were raised to over feed their husbands. They were told that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach so they decided to make their husband stomach to be big so that they can have easy access to his heart.
