Whenever someone who cares for you thinks something is wrong for you, there are two possibilities. Either they don't have all the facts (you can provide more) or they know better (and maybe you should believe them)? Maybe a respectful conversation would help you understand each other better?

I am a parent who did not let my sons lift weights when they were young. Once they were older teens then I felt it was ok. Maybe your parents are opposed to specific activities not overall exercise. They may be ok with Zumba but not weight lifting. There are many physical activities to stay in shape that don't seem like exercise nor require a gym. Maybe they would let you take a dance class or join a sport or even play a sport with friends. Maybe bike riding or swimming. All wonderful fitness activities that many don't perceive as exercise.

Best way is to explain to them how important it is and see there point of you but also try to make them also see your point of you maybe by explaining that health is very important

Talk them into speaking to a proffessional trainer. Maybe they don't want you to overexercise or they just don't know how good exercise might be for you. Someone educated in the domain should be able to help you both.

Start by telling them about the benefits of exercising regularly AND the health risks of not exercising. Demonstrate to them that you know how to avoid injuries while exercising.

Tell them the benefits of exercise, and tell them the problems that may occur if you don’t exercise. The positives far outweigh the negatives.
