Exercise can be part of the plot. Let's say the main character in a kids' story is trying to reach a far - off place. Instead of using a vehicle, they could run, swim or cycle there. This shows kids that exercise can be a means to an end. Also, it can be used to teach kids about perseverance during physical activities.
There's 'The Little Red Hen Runs a Race'. In this story, the Little Red Hen decides to enter a race against other farm animals.

In some sports academies, young athletes may feel forced to exercise when they are pushed hard by their coaches to improve their performance. However, this can lead to great achievements in the long run if they manage to adapt and keep up with the demanding training regime. They might initially complain but later be grateful for the tough training.
One forced exercise story could be about a student who was forced by their coach to run extra laps as a punishment for being late to practice. At first, the student was really reluctant and angry, but in the end, they became faster and more disciplined in their running.
In some workplaces, employees might be 'forced' in a sense to do exercise as part of a corporate wellness program. For example, they are required to participate in a weekly yoga or jogging session. This can lead to improved health and better team spirit among the employees.
One success story could be about a client who was overweight and unfit. With the help of the exercise coach, they followed a personalized workout plan. After a few months, they lost a significant amount of weight and gained more energy. They were able to participate in activities they couldn't before, like running a short race.
There's a woman I know who lost weight without exercise. She started eating more fruits and vegetables. Instead of having snacks like chips, she'd have an apple or some carrots. She also paid close attention to her meal times and made sure not to eat late at night. This regulated her metabolism to some extent. In about half a year, she lost a significant amount of weight and felt much healthier.
There are times when a wife goes out cycling. She rides along the scenic routes, enjoying the beauty of nature. Cycling is a great form of exercise that also allows her to explore new places. Sometimes she might stop by a small café on the way back and have a refreshing drink.
There are many success stories. One woman I know walked around on her exercise ball for about an hour each day in the late stages of pregnancy. She found that it really helped to start contractions and she went into labor smoothly. It seems the gentle bouncing and movement on the ball helps the baby get into a better position for labor.
