Abstract: Regular exercise has been proven to be effective in maintaining physical and mental fitness,
but there are still many people, including farmers in Pondokrejo Village, who ignore it because they are
busy and believe that farming activities are enough to replace exercise. Lack of understanding and
limited facilities contribute to low interest in regular exercise, which risks reducing long-term fitness.
This research aims to describe the interests and habits of the people of Pondokrejo Village, Tempurejo
District, Jember Regency, towards sports activities. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data was
collected through an online questionnaire from 100 respondents aged 18–59 years. The research results
show that the majority of respondents have good and regular exercise habits, with a frequency of 3-5
times a week, and are accompanied by an understanding of the importance of warming up and cooling
down. These findings indicate that respondents not only live an active lifestyle, but also realize the
physical and psychological benefits of exercise. However, there are still some people who pay little
attention to sports because of busy work activities, especially among farmers. Therefore, ongoing
education is needed regarding the importance of exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle and long-term
disease prevention.
