Lack of regular exercise increases obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and depression. Once the habit of exercising breaks in a busy lifestyle, it becomes difficult to resume. The issue of women’s fitness is not just about gender equality—it is directly linked to national health. According to the Central Government’s Time Use Survey, only 3.9% of women aged 15 to 29 engage in exercise, compared to 14.8% of men in the same age group. This data, based on a survey of 450,000 people, reveals a significant gap in fitness awareness between men and women. Looking at this figure, it is evident that awareness about fitness among women needs to be increased. Possible reasons for the low participation of women include the lack of safe and accessible spaces, as parks and grounds are often dominated by men. Many women find it unsafe to go out early in the morning or late at night. Household duties, studies, and responsibilities leave little time for exercise. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to their daughters’ fitness and encourage them to engage in regular exercise.
