Only a Handful of Britons Ready to Exercise Despite Death Risk
"For many people, exercise has become an ugly word, something to avoid at all costs - but you'd be amazed how easy it is to up the tempo of your heartbeat. "Just 30 minutes a day will do you and your heart the world of good, Knapton added.
The government advises a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise five times a week. Dr David Haslam, clinical director of the National Obesity Forum, said that it was depressing to know that even those who had a heart attack did not change their lifestyles.
"Children instinctively exercise when left to their own devices, but they don't because they're stopped from doing that by the school curriculum and parents scared of child abductors and murderers lurking on every corner. "So, if it doesn't become a habit, you're not going to work hard to go against the tide and introduce it as an adult."
He added that exercise should be incorporated into everyday life because if not, it also increases the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. "Physical activity and obesity are too different risk factors, so even if you're lean, if you're inactive you increase your risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease," Haslam said.
