Duty-oriented leisure was the idea of the fitness movement, which since the eighties of the 20. Century has covered almost the entire western world. The life of many people was and is increasingly characterized by a lack of exercise and sedentary activities, so the idea, to use his free time for sporting activities, could of course experience wide distribution. Mode- and body culture did and do the rest, to make fitness attractive for many people - more and more people visit gyms, in which they add a good amount of movement to their everyday life, which of course is an important contribution to well-being throughout life.
However, “fitness” also has its downsides. The Idea, incorporate more exercise into your life, is in itself a very good one; however, it is certainly not a pleasant development for the stressed-out modern man, if he two- or three times a week one more duty to integrate into his diary. Many people complain about a chronic lack of time - and this can certainly not be compensated for by more exercise.
