Hi Ratana

I agree that exercise is hard work.   To share my not so encouraging  experience.   In my workplace ( hospital), we actually started an exercise program  of about 10 - 15 minutes every morning doing some form of stretching exercise which we are familiar  with.   But I have to confess that after a few rounds of keeping to the schedule, it sort of die a natural death.   Not that we are not motivated to exercise, but somehow things just crop up that make it quite difficult for all to meet at an appointed time for the exercise especially in the morning.    Having the program at the beginning of the day may not be a good idea, rather consider have it at the end of  the day instead.

  As everybody knows that exercise is very good for health, both mental and physical. But promoting exercise is a very hard work. Most of people still behave in their own way until they have a strong motivation to do. 

  I am going to arrange exercise program in the workplace (the hospital). We have objective to promote health of health workers and also promote group integration that might increase work potential. I am afraid that the objectives of program will not be achieved, because I have never had experience in this program before. Does somebody have experience in designing exercise program? What did you do to make it work? Or what problems do you get?

  It doesn't matter if you have no experience. Just suggest something, I will be very grateful. 

  Thanks
