No. I am not sure that I would be able to keep up with them! They have incredible physical strength and speed. Also, we need to avoid treating them like pets and let them be monkeys.
Monkeys and apes probably need more exercise each day than humans. In the wild they would be moving for most of the day (depending on the species, they might be walking on the ground or swinging through the trees or a mix of both), so they need to move around lots in zoos as well.
We never really have much trouble getting our monkeys to eat any type of fruit!

do monkeys need as much exercise a day as humans?

Do you ever eat bananas to try and get the monkeys to eat them?
