Only a Handful of Britons Ready to Exercise Despite Death Risk
Experts also said that people with a healthy weight should also workout in order to avoid health problems later in life.
According to a survey of 2,100 people, brisk walking was found to be the favourite way of exercising and after that dancing, swimming or going to the gym was considered the fun way to exercise.
A third of 18 to 24-year-olds said that they would exercise if they saw an unflattering photo of themselves or were told they looked fat meaning that good body shape is what it would take for young adults to exercise. And, only 4 percent said they found exercise fun.
Another motivation to exercise included fancying someone at the gym. Only 13 percent of men and 7 percent of women reported that keeping a healthy heart was their main inspiration. The most prominent way of avoiding exercise was excuses such as not having enough time and one in seven people blamed bad weather for not working out.
A campaign is now being launched by The British Heart Foundation to encourage people to up their heart rate for 30 minutes a day, It also said that someone dies every 15 minutes as a direct result of physical inactivity.
